After reading and seeing Liana thread and issues, there is simply no defence for Porter Davis. That is a disgrace. It only takes one crime to be considered a criminal.

There are tolerance laws in Victoria. The Property Law Act provides for an error in measurement of 50mm (Section 272) for boundaries of lengths up to 40.3 metres and thereafter…

In victoria adverse possession comes into play. Seek legal advice. At a minimum if you are happy to continue the status quo, get a photo playing cricket on the subject…

Builders / concreters probably use a simple dumpy level. If you were worried you could use a long piece of clear tube to act as a level.
Measure up from the…
