16: Contribution where immediate work required
or “When a fence needs urgent fixing, you can do it and ask your neighbour to pay half”
You could also call this:

“If you break a fence while living on the land, you have to pay to fix it”

If you damage or destroy a fence, and you’re the person using or living on the land (called an occupier), you have to pay for fixing it. This is true even if the Fencing Act doesn’t say anything about it. You’ll need to pay the full cost of repairing the fence or building a new one to replace what you damaged.
