What a loon, but we are used to loons in uk.legal

I suspect we haven't seen the last of Mr Nseowo

Perhaps somebody should tell him you can't build a house extension in
the UK according to the Nigerian Building Regs. Or perhaps he didn't
bung the building inspector enough? (8-)

Mr J S Tinks


On a parallel universe somewhere there is another Mr Nseowo who got away
with building his extension and then sold the house to an unsuspecting

first
time buyer. Because the first time buyer couldn't afford a full survey

the
surveryors report didn't pick up the faults to the extension. Six months
down the line, one of the columns collapses and kills three of the house
occupants when a supporting beam collapses under it's own weight and

crushes
the occupants.


Don't you mean "sold the house to a blind, unsuspecting first time buyer"?
It was quite obvious to anyone who saw it that it wasn't okay - since when
have columns been significantly off the vertical, and roofs been on a
serious slant?
