Mmmm, I'll have to invoke that against my neighbour farmer in Normandy
who has planted a Leylandii hedge right up against our boundary and is
now threatening to shade my vines from the sun! His acacia tree on that
boundary is already about twenty foot high.

Actually I'm not sure that that is right because I know of plenty of
boundary hedges in Normandy which are much higher than that.

I wouldn't get involved in a legal action with your neighbour, in some
parts of rural France legal actions are almost a form of sport.

I wouldn't. I would set the local mayor on to him (with whom I have a
good working relationship).
