Thread: Farmer lying about paper road?

As @Tahr observed, these matters can often involve a heap of angst.....however, if it is still a ULR then I have no doubt you are legally entitled to use it. A point that always intrigues me a little is the assertion that if you do use the URL without the cocky's consent 'you'd better be sure you remain on it...'. I'd have expected the onus to be on the cocky to establish you were off the ULR, and on his land before legal action could be upheld? As suggested, I'd enquire of the WAC, and the local Council.....they are almost always the 'owners' of land under roads, formed or otherwise. (unless its a Maori roadway)

I imagine DoC will be able to confirm whether he has a concesion to use the adjoining PCL, and what the terms of that might be?
