One possible course of action would be to remove the fence and make her try to sue me for removing it..... she wouldn't win and the onus would be on her. The only issue is there are concrete posts set in the ground and a resin bound drive right up to the gravel boards on her side.... so it won't be a quick easy removal and will require her driveway to be reduced in width first. Bit of a nightmare for her..... but then again, its been a nightmare for me not to able to replace the fascias and soffits on my gable end. The scaffolding at the front and back has now gone and I've had to leave the old stuff in place when the front, back and other gable have all been replaced. It looks a mess cos its crap and old when the other three sides are brand new.
boundary moved by neighbour?

This requires a court case, so it's not as simple as "you have rights"...

If she has indeed grabbed your land please get it back, I don't care how you do it but please do. She sounds like someone I knew, I had a fallout with her over her wrongdoing and the way forward was to take her on, be very firm and direct but keep it professional. Kept my head, whilst outlining how bad I could make things for them and to not flinch one bit.
She backed off, even tried to make up and asked for a hug, which I declined, and she got funny with me again lol.
It sounds like she is the type to look for and pick on vulnerabilities - the key is not to offer any.
Best of luck.

You're spot on mate.... Best way to deal with a bully is to take em on 'head on'........ and thats what I intend to do.
