Japanese knotweed dispute lands The Hague neighbours in court
Original: japanse duizendknoop
A neighbourhood dispute in The Hague over Japanese knotweed has ended up in court, with a man taken to court over the invasive plant. The Hague district court has ruled on the fight against the fast-spreading weed, which is notorious in the Netherlands for damaging gardens, walls and foundations and being extremely difficult to eradicate. The case is drawing attention because it tests who is liable when knotweed spreads from one property to another.
Why now: A court ruling on liability for the invasive plant sets a precedent for the many Dutch homeowners battling Japanese knotweed.
