Description

Richard Williamson, a man from Bedwas, Wales, has taken his local council to court over his neighbors cats causing messes in his yard. Despite complaints to Caerphilly council and the presence of indoor litter trays, Williamson wasnt satisfied. The case was dismissed due to cats not having roaming restrictions like dogs or livestock. However, a judge at Cardiff High Court has now ruled that the council missed the main point, focusing on cat care instead of checking if the fouling counts as a statutory nuisance. The case is now back to the council for a fresh look.
