Hello,
Following a recent merger of management companies, I have been issued a notice of Tort (interference with goods) act 1977, for the following goods;
Slide, swings and trampoline.
Some background...
I own a flat on a long term leasehold which also gives me usage of some communal land, which is now managed by a property management company.
In the original lease agreement initially with the local council (in my parents names who have passed) , it states that this shared land in question is 'retained land'
The property management company who took over from the council, aided and concreted in the above equipment on the land, and now following a recent merger with another property company, they have gone health and safety mad and I have been issued with this Tort and have been asked to remove these goods within 14 days. Pursuant to the Tort Act 1977 Schedule 1 Paragraph 1.
And if i fail to take delivery of the goods they are liable to be sold or disposed of in accordance with the provisions of Section 12(2). And i would be charged with the removal of the goods in question.
Now the issues here is that the property company concreted this in for me several years ago before the merger, and now i have to pay for them to be removed?
What are my legal obligations here? it seems a bit odd how they can do this. It would be a bit like me renting out a flat to someone, and telling them to come and collect their belongings after concreting them into the floor.
Thanks for reading.

... they were the ones who concreted the items in the ground for anyone to use, since it is a communal area but they were mine orignally yes, i kind of donated them really. Certainly won't be contesting ownership.
