Not legal advice , as usual.
In late September 2020 a sixty-ish couple from a neighbourhood on the south coast of Nova Scotia, received
jail sentences of one and nine months respectfully ( plus post-release restraints).
This saga got attention even in a Province that last year saw 22 victims shot to death in Gabriel Wortman's notorious April 2019 rampage with look-alike RCMP cruiser.
The convicted couple's neighbourhood war is speculated to have been been
triggered by a mere 2010 notification that their garage had been discovered to encroach on some sort of common use roadway, possibly private. It is reported that NO removal had been ordered, but that the intention was ( reportedly ) only to pre-empt claims under adverse possession. BUT then the war was on . . .
After a 4 day 2019 Nova Scotia Supreme Court jury trail in which the couple "defended themselves", they were found guilty of a range of offences from online harassment up to physical assaults. The accused reportedly even scuffled with court deputies.
On October 28/20 CBC national radio ran interviews with neighbours. Several expressed extreme concern about what the future will hold after this couple is eventually released . . . .
