Ok, better said than what I said, but it’s sure not what the government decides.
The govt may play a role as mediator, and that is the local govt, as a representative of the local people.
I may have a similar problem brewing with my business in a few years.
I do have a great problem if a private developer or landholder/businessman wants another adjacent property for themselves and wants to steal it.......In the end, I cannot see one law fitting all possibilities. That's why lawyers get fat.
