‘My neighbour's garden office is blocking my right of way. What can I do?'
Do you have a legal question to put to Gary? Email askalawyer@ or use the form at the bottom of the page. Dear Gary, We bought a Grade II-listed end of terrace cottage earlier this year, and one of the conveyance documents dated from 1947 relates to the addition of a large parcel of land (just under half an acre) which is used as the rear garden. The 1947 conveyance includes the addition of 'barrow rights' for our neighbours allowing them access across this land, as they lost access from their rear gardens to the road (now used for bins and cycles). The document also includes rights for the owners of our house to use a path from the left-hand side of the garden to the public highway. Over the past 70-odd years, the path has not only become overgrown, but the owners of the property to the north of the right of way have built an outbuilding (now used as a home office) that obstructs and crosses it. The 1947 conveyance describes the strip of land as being 10ft wide, yet today there is perhaps only a foot recognisable at either end. The 1947 conveyance includes a map of the rights of way and this description: 'Together with the benefit of a right for the Purchaser and others, the owners and occupiers for the time being of the premises hereinbefore described, with or without horses, carts, carriages, and other conveyances and animals, to go return pass or repass over and along the strip of land 10 feet wide lying between the points marked A and B on the said plan and thereon coloured brown.' Is there any recourse available to reinstate this right of way? Many thanks in advance, – Lewis Dear Lewis, The ace card you have up your sleeve is the very clear wording in the 1947 conveyance quoted in your question. In legal terms, this is an 'express right of way', which means it is a right defined in a legal document and granted for the benefit of the land conveyed at that time, the land you say you use as your garden. The legal right set out in the 1947 conveyance is the means and evidence for you to enforce the right of way it describes as its new owner. However, before you assert that right, I would do some preparation. First, ensure the right of way is referred to both in the Land Register entry for your cottage and the entry for the property or land which includes the path you are claiming a right over. The Land Register is a document issued by the Land Registry which summarises the relevant legal matters relating to a particular parcel of land. The fact you have a copy of the 1947 conveyance setting out an express right of way means that if the right has been missed off the Land Register for your cottage, or missed off the Register for the path, you can apply to the Land Registry for it to be noted on both titles. I am labouring this point because having the right of way noted on the Land Register as a matter of fact is the optimal starting point if you seek to clear the overgrown strip of land which you say comprises the right of way, and exercise the right. A clear impediment to your right of way is the garden office, which you say has been built across part of it. Whoever owns that building may argue that the fact it is there, and has been for some time, equates to the previous owners of your cottage having abandoned the right of way you are now seeking to enforce. You use the word 'reinstate', but I would avoid that phrase as it infers the right has been lost, when your legal argument is that it has been there all along, albeit exercised infrequently. There is some weight to an argument that a right of way that is blocked has been abandoned. Further, the legal 'doctrine of laches' states a person with a legal right has a duty to assert that right or risk losing it. However, in law, it is hard to prove an express right of way has been abandoned. Your rebuttal to such an argument would be that, although the path of the right in question has become overgrown and has narrowed, it is still there and is an identifiable route not completely blocked by the garden office. In terms of what to do next, I would get your legal paperwork in order as outlined above, and then either approach the owner of the strip of land and say you wish to exercise the right of way. Or just cut back the overgrown path and start using it. It is not clear from your question if the owner of the path is the same as the owner of the garden office. But if they are the same person, your leverage is that the building is infringing your right of way, so you will only accept the building if they allow your right of way. One final comment is that as you are new to the locality, making some assessment of how important this issue is to you compared with not upsetting your neighbours would be no bad thing. It's one thing having legal rights and asserting them. It's quite another to assert rights with no real-world benefit at the expense of forging close connections with those who you live among. Ask a Lawyer should not be taken as formal legal advice, but rather as a starting point for readers to undertake their own further research.

How Trump woke me up for surprise interview - and the key takeaways
Donald Trump makes a habit of calling reporters out of the blue. The US president seems to prefer an off-the-cuff telephone conversation to a sit-down interview on Monday evening it was my turn. And I'll be frank with you - I was asleep when the White House rang.I'd spent the best part of five days believing there was an outside chance I would get an interview with him, to mark a year since the attempt on his life in Butler, reporting from that shooting had made global headlines and probably caught the president's attention. So I judged that perhaps that connection might be a way of securing a presidential interview - pretty rare things for foreign news organisations in the Sunday night I was told I was minutes away from the call so my team and I were standing by ready to record, but it didn't last night, I'd given up on the interview happening and after a long few weeks on the road without a day off, I was exhausted and taking a nap. Then the phone rang. I blearily answered, and the voice of Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt came over the speaker: "Hi Gary, I'm here with the president, here you go."I dashed into my living room, scrambling for my digital recorder; the line dropped and I thought I'd lost it. But they came back on the line and I spent almost 20 minutes speaking to Trump about everything from that fateful night in Butler, to his frustrations with Vladimir Putin, to his new-found belief in Nato and to his view of the are my five key takeaways from our surprise conversation. 1. Trump shows a different side, touching on Butler He was very reflective on a couple of things and he sounded pretty vulnerable talking about the assassination attempt - it's clear he's uncomfortable talking about a president often seen in public shooting from the hip, and loved by his supporters for doing so, there were moments of reflection and some long pauses before answers that are rarely asked if the assassination attempt had changed him, the president conveyed a hint of vulnerability as he said he tries to think about it as little as he can."I don't like dwelling on it because if I did, it would be, you know, might be life-changing, I don't want it to have to be that."Elaborating, he said he liked "the power of positive thinking, or the power of positive non-thinking".There was also a very long pause when I asked him if he trusted Russian President Vladimir he replied: "I trust almost nobody to be honest with you."I'm 'disappointed but not done' with Putin, Trump says 2. No commitment to US deportation numbers Turning to domestic American politics, I asked whether the president's plan for mass deportations was working - both in terms of speed, and given that some individuals were being swept up who the president perhaps wouldn't want to see president insisted his team had done a "great job" at fulfilling his campaign promises, citing the drastic decrease in migrants crossing into the US from southern neighbour of Trump's team have expressed frustration that deportations are being carried out too slowly. When I pushed him on the question of how many deportations in this second presidential term would mark a success, Trump refused to give a figure."Well I don't put a number on but I want to get the criminals out quickly, and we're doing that, as you know," he said. "We're bringing them to El Salvador, lots of other places." 3. More frustration with Putin Trump expressed his frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin - capping off a day in which he threatened to hit Moscow's economy with secondary sanctions if a deal over the war in Ukraine was not reached within 50 campaigned on a promise to quickly end the war, Trump seemed perplexed that he had not yet managed to strike an agreement with his Russian counterpart to end the years-long conflict. He again indicated there was a gap between words and actions on Putin's part: "I thought we had a deal done four times and then you go home, and you see, just attacked a nursing home or something in Kyiv. I said: 'What the hell was that all about?'"There was a telling pause when I asked Trump if he could trust Putin, to which he answered: "I trust almost nobody, to be honest."Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other European leaders have long accused Putin of not being serious about ending the war. To them, feelings of doubt will be nothing when I asked Trump whether he had finished with the Russian leader, he continued to leave the door open: "I'm not done with him, but I'm disappointed in him." Trump weapons pledge marks major step forward for UkraineRosenberg: Russia more relieved than rattled by US threat 4. New tone on Nato I pointed out to Trump that he once suggested Nato was obsolete, and he replied that he now thought the Western military alliance was "becoming the opposite of that".He was fresh from hosting Nato chief Mark Rutte - a man he seems to be able to work well with. The pair exchanged warm words in front of the world's cameras, and announced that the US would sell weapons to Nato which would then be passed on to our call, Trump indicated that he was shaking off his grudge that his country spent proportionately more on defence than its allies. "It was very unfair because the United States paid for almost a hundred percent of it, but now they're paying their own bills and I think that's much better," he said, appearing to refer to a pledge last month by Nato members to ramp up defence spending to 5% of each country's economic output."We changed Nato a lot," he told me. 5. Respect for Starmer and UK Trump emphasised his respect for the UK and its prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer, with whom he last month signed an agreement to remove some trade barriers. "I really like the prime minister a lot, even though he's a liberal," Trump emphasised that the relationship between the two countries was just as "special" as many Britons like to believe, adding that he believed the UK would fight alongside the US in a sounded relaxed over perceived slights against him. Although his state visit to the UK later this year will not entail a speech to Parliament, he was not insistent that lawmakers be recalled. "Let them go and have a good time," he labelled his future host King Charles "a great gentleman". He shrugged off a recent speech that was given to Canada's parliament by the monarch that was seen as an endorsement of Canadian sovereignty in the face of Trump's even had a joke. "You have many different names you go by," he said. "England, if you want to cut off a couple of areas. And you go UK, and you have Britain and you have Great Britain. You got more names than any other country in history, I think."

Packers DE Rashan Gary ranks No. 80 in 'NFL Top 100 Players of 2025'
For the second consecutive season, Green Bay Packers edge rusher Rashan Gary has made the "NFL Top 100 Players" list. After ranking No. 50 entering the 2024 season, Gary checked in at No. 80 overall in "NFL Top 100 Players of 2025" list. The first 20 players on the list have now been revealed, and Gary is the first Packers player to make the list. A first-time Pro Bowler in 2024, Gary produced 7.5 sacks, 15 quarterback hits, nine tackles for loss, 49 total pressures and a forced fumble across 17 regular season games for the Packers last season. His overall numbers took a step back -- Gary had 9.0 sacks and 22 quarterback hits in 2023 -- but a strong overall season, in which he became a top run-defending edge rusher -- helped keep Gary in the top 100 list. Gary moved from standup outside linebacker in the 3-4 defense in 2023 to a true 4-3 defensive end for Jeff Hafley in 2024. According to ESPN Analytics, Gary ranked first among all edge rushers in "Run Stop Win Rate" after producing 63 wins on only 170 plays in 2024. He also produced a career-high 33 stops, or a tackle creating a failure for the offense, per PFF. However, Gary had only 47 pressures, down from 60 in 2023, and his pass-rush win rate dropped to 12.7 percent, which ranked 33rd among all edge rushers with at least 280 pass-rushing snaps in 2024. Despite getting a spot in the top 100 list, Gary did not make ESPN's list of top 10 edge rushers entering 2025.

Snow Patrol shout out iconic Glasgow venue at TRNSMT
Dedicating Chasing Cars to Glasgow, Gary Lightbody (lead singer) of Snow Patrol, thanked King Tut's Wah Wah Hut for helping them when they were first starting out and living in the city. Gary told the crowd: "When we first moved to Glasgow in 1998, we would rock up to the front of King Tut's with our guitars and ask if we could play on the stage after the doors opened. "Every time they would let us play, they would also feed us. When you're a new band who are just starting out, stuff like that means the world. So, I would like to thank every place in Glasgow that helped us like Tut's and Nice N Sleazy. "I also want to shout out all the amazing bands from Glasgow too. There are too many to name." (Image: Picture credit: Lesley Martin/PA Wire) The Northern Irish–Scottish rock band, who formed in Dundee back in 1994, declared that playing in Glasgow felt like coming home. Speaking on the importance of the city to the band, Gary said: "This city was a big part of our life and is a really important part of our journey as a band." (Image: Picture credit: Lesley Martin/PA Wire) Having lived in the city for 10 years, they wrote some of their biggest hits here, such as Run. During their hour and a bit set, the group played their big hits as well as a song from their new album as Gary humorously told the crowd: "It was going to happen at some point. Don't panic, nobody panic." (Image: Picture credit: Lesley Martin/PA Wire) Perhaps the best part of Snow Patrol's set though was the joy on the band's faces. I couldn't help but smile as a huge grin spread across Gary's face every time the crowd sung the lyrics back to him. He was buzzing, thrilled and any other positive word you could think of. But most of all, there was a look of thankfulness and gratitude to be in Glasgow, to be on that main stage and to be headlining this festival. You could see Gary taking it all in, as if he was having his own 'I made it' moment. There's something beautiful about seeing a globally renowned band feeling so appreciated by our city. But, it's what we do best, isn't it? Making people feel at home, appreciating what they have to offer to us and of course, enjoying live music. I can't say I was particularly a fan of the band before the show, nor had I ever really listened to them, but Snow Patrol's set made me want to devour their albums and immerse myself in their sound. Though I said I wasn't particularly a fan of the band before the show, I certainly am now.
