Judge begs widow to give up her obsessive 20-year fight over garden fence

A WIDOW has been begged by a judge to give up her obsessive 20-year fight over a garden fence.

Norma Yozin-Smith’s case has run up more than £100,000 in court bills and is said to have caused misery for herself and her neighbours, Anthony and Julie Alexander.

Now, after another court ruling went against her, Judge Alan Johns has said: “All boundary disputes are regrettable but this one is more regrettable than most.

“I implore her to give it up and to move on from it for her own good as well as for the good of the Alexanders.”

Norma, 73, claimed the fence between her house and neighbours strayed into her garden in New Barnet, North London.

She argued it ignored a boundary line drawn by a surveyor in 2007.

Judge Johns ruled that the fence line was correct at Central London county court.

But he said she was entitled to £500 as the fence encroached on her garden through disrepair.
