responsibility (T marks on deeds) falls down. Do I have any rights in
requiring him to replace it?

Generally speaking, no. Even if there's a covenant, it's probably
unenforceable.

There is no general obligation in law for anybody to fence their land,
although railways, disused mines, building works adjacent to highways
and fields containing livestock each have specific laws requiring them
to be fenced. So, almost certainly not. There is, however, nothing to
stop you erecting your own fence on your side of the boundary.

No. You need some dogs in your yard. Big ones that do big poos.

For which you have responsibility in keeping on your land.

Thanks - no problem yet but the fence is stating to fail and the neighbour
is new so an unknown quantity. The previous one was always on th ecase over
such matters.

Yes but after a while the neighbour will fix the fence. Get real.

No. But an offer to split the cost may go down better than a big dog
that craps, and be cheaper

Make a new "fence" out of things that naturally look untidy, like the
typical remains out of a builders skip.

Before long, they'll replace it.
