Neighbour takes Zoom Inn to court over illegal fence

Jan 30, 2011 News

A Brickdam resident has taken her neighbour, the Zoom Inn Hotel, to court, claiming $10M for what has been described as an illegal fence separating her yard from the business place.
Earlier this month, on January 12, Justice James Bovell-Drakes, granted a mandatory injunction against Brazilian, Sergio Matos, the new owner of the hotel which is located on Croal Street, instructing him to pull down the fence which separates his land from that of the Plaintiff, Josephine O’ Selmo. O’Selmo’s property is located at 102 Brickdam and Sandeman Place.
According to court documents, the two properties are adjoining with the Plaintiff’s at the southern section.
O’ Selmo, through Attorney-at-law, Arun Gajraj, claimed that the fence, in addition to encroaching on her land, has blocked air and sufficient light to her property.
She is claiming in excess of $10M for trespass and nuisance from the hotel.
According to the claim, the Plaintiff had been granted another order in 2005 against the previous owners, Bibi Singh and Sirpaul Singh (Sr) barring the construction of any fence between the two properties.
However, Matos was accused of flouting that order and in late December constructed a concrete fence.
