Kathleen Maureen Rueter won the High Court appeal in a Wicklow hedge and laneway dispute, with the ruling reported on 12 December 2014. The court found that the claims brought by James and Ann Madigan must fail.

Mr Justice Nicholas Kearns declared that the Rueters had exclusive ownership, possession and occupation of the laneway, including the hedge. He also awarded costs against the Madigans after their earlier Circuit Court award of €5,000 for trespass and nuisance was overturned.
