The thing you keep missing is that this is NOT a contract dispute. The
guy who built the fence did NOT have a contract with the OP, he had a
contract with the owner of the house who had the fence built. If the
court ruled that the fence had to be moved, THEN that homeowner would
have a contract dispute with the contractor who failed to build it on
the property and HE could sue for performance if teh contractor
refused to move the fence. The OP has no standing to sue based on the
contract, he's not a party to it.
What you keep missing is the law says you can't build something
on another man's property. The remedy for that is simple. The
fence gets moved. This isn't some innocent mistake. It's an overt
act of the neighbor or his workmen, not giving a damn and deliberately
putting a fence on another man's property, even after being told
by the owner not to. You want to now believe that a court is going
to get into what is "fair", to make the guy infringed prove that
he's really harmed. This is absurd. The court will order the fence
to be moved. And it's not that it's impossible to do, it's a tiny
backyard with what, 40ft of fence? Good grief.
No argument from me, but just from a practical point of view, moving 40'
of fence 1.5 *feet* would probably be easier to do than moving 40' of
fence 1.5 inches.
If the post holes had the typical 80 lb bag of cement dumped into each
hole, moving them 1.5" is going to be kind of hard - I agree: not
impossible, but kind of hard.

An awful lot of bull**** over 1 1/2 inches of space which WILL NEVER BE USED BY
ANYONE. This guy watches the contractor build the fence where it now is and THEN
complains. Why didn't he say something BEFORE it was completed? He KNEW that it was going AROUND that power pole...by letting the building continue he was
by his inaction OKAYING the whole shebang.
