No doubt even our cave dwelling ancestors were as keen to get on with the Joneses next door as they were to keep up with them. But as we all know, it\u2019s not always easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A recent High Court fight over parking rights is unfortunately pretty much par for the course when it comes to neighbourly relations deteriorating into open conflict, both inside and out of the courtroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cYou can\u2019t park here!\u201d \u201cYes, we can!\u201d<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The setting for this fight: Higgovale, a small and affluent suburb on the slopes of Table Mountain in Cape Town. In one corner: a couple with the right to access their garage using a servitude road. In the other corner: the neighbours, alleged to have impeded the couple\u2019s garage access by parking in the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the heart of the dispute: the road servitude. Servitudes involve a balancing act between the right of the \u201cdominant owner\u201d to exercise the servitude and the right of the \u201cservient owner\u201d to have the servitude exercised in such a way as to impose the \u201clightest burden\u201d on their property. The tensions inherent in such a relationship can easily escalate into conflict \u2013 exactly what happened here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The garage-owning couple\u2019s initial stance was to ask the Court for a blanket interdict against all parking by the neighbours in the road, but they later softened that to ask only for an order against their garage access being obstructed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Court had no hesitation in ordering that the neighbours \u201care interdicted and restrained from parking vehicles on the servitude area at \u2026 Higgovale, in such a manner as to unreasonably obstruct the applicants from entering and exiting their property and exercising their right of way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In doing so, the Court took the parties to task for failing to settle their dispute out of court, and urged them \u201c<strong>to engage with each other in a manner that promotes the spirit of ubuntu, and the constitutional vision of a caring society based on good neighbourliness and shared concern<\/strong>\u201d (emphasis supplied), and to consider demarcating parking bays in the road as a short-term solution. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The parties now have to pay their own costs (except for the costs of one interim application), and they\u2019re effectively back to square one: having to engage with each other to try to find a fair solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s a \u201creasonable neighbour\u201d?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Per the Court (emphasis supplied): &#8220;While the common law requires that neighbours act reasonably, the Constitution shows what a reasonable neighbour looks like. She is not only concerned with advancing her own private interests but cares also for the needs of her neighbours. She seeks mutually beneficial solutions.&nbsp;<strong>The mindset of the reasonable neighbour is one of collaboration, not competition. She sees herself not as an isolated individual, but a partner in an interdependent community of persons, all of whom are to be respected and valued.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First prize: Settle!<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Courts want us to settle these sorts of disputes in that collaborative spirit, without recourse to law. But if a friendly discussion over a cup of coffee doesn\u2019t resolve the situation, more robust action might be unavoidable \u2013 we\u2019re here to help if you need us. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"border-top: 1px solid #dedfe0!important;padding-top: 20px!important;margin-top: 20px!important\">Disclaimer:\u00a0The information provided herein should not be used or relied on as professional advice.
