A gardener slammed as a “school bully” has been ordered to pay £200,000 to her neighbour with a wasp allergy after rotten fruit from her tree attracted the little dangers to her home.
Antoinette Williams was taken to court by her Surrey neighbour Barbara Pilcher as her 40-foot tree left hundreds of rotting apples on Mrs Pilcher’s lawn, attracting wasps which put her at risk of attacks.
In a case heard in court last year, Ms Williams was ruled to be “vindictive” and “creepy” in a campaign of harassment towards her neighbour in Dunsfold, near Godalming.
