Judge quotes Shakespeare
Updated on 18 April 2008
Senior appeal judges have drawn a boundary line between warring neighbours after a legal action which cost "vastly" more than the value of the disputed land.
Neighbours Julie Strachey and Fraser Ramage were locked in conflict over the ownership of a piece of land in Hayle, Cornwall "a fraction of an acre in size", said Lord Justice Sedley, who was sitting with Lord Justice Rimer and Sir Paul Kennedy in the Court of Appeal in London.
Quoting Shakespeare, the judge recalled Hamlet being told by a captain in Prince Fortinbras's army that his troops were marching to gain "a little patch of ground that hath no profit in it but the name".
