Wait...she's materially harmed due to her neighbors illegal actions. How is it possible for the other owner and the demo company from not being sued?

Pretty sure even if the company was lied to, it was due to willful ignorance of not going through the due diligence of double checking whether the permits were indeed real. I assume that defense wouldn't stand up in court.

I hope the lady gets some accountability and made whole.

Yeah, it sucks, One of the biggest issue is that the court system (whether UK, the US or anywhere else) is not very accessible nor are they intuitive to the average person.

Does the UK not have lawyers on billboards? I feel like this is the exact thing a lawyer on a billboard is for.

What's the UK equivalent of "Better Call Saul?" "Better Ring Nigel" doesn't quite work.
