Gas flue modification carried out without permission!

How would you prove who actually modified the flue ?
 
if you and the neighbour(s) are such enemies, how did you manage to get the photos?
 
I bet the neighbours took em :wink:

and sold them to OP?
The dispute was partly about the shed and partly about occluding the flue. It was only when we saw photographs from a joint expert that we realised the flue had actually been modified. The dispute has been going on since July 2006 and I cannot get anyone to take the issue of the flue modification seriously. My opinion is that it potentially posed a serious health / safety hazard, but the solicitors are ignoring this aspect of the case.

Who was the joint expert BTW ??
 
Hah! The photos were taken by a "joint expert" who was appointed to inspect the shed / flue / problem in general. He was pretty useless but the photos were informative. No covert trespass here - all legitimate pics!
On further consideration, he could well be a local osteopath (or similar) who moonlights as an expert... He seemed blessed with a level of understanding of the law, and the implications of the various issues raised, equivalent to that of (say) a potato.
 
Its still illegal to modify a flue, and the neighbour could have been facing manslaughter charges now
