It's like a judge ordering you to hand over your keys to the person living underneath because you have a water leak you refuse to fix.

Perhaps the water leak was caused by someone else, but it's still in your apartment.

1. That would still be ridiculous.

2. The water leak isn't actually in the apartment if we're keeping this accurate to domains. Maybe the only phone the plumber will listen to is in the apartment.

3. As someone else already said, the judge is handing over the keys to the entire building.

How would it be ridiculous? A water leak in your flat is causing damage to the flat below yours, it's your duty to address this. If you do not address this, someone will in fact go to court and take control of your flat.

This is something that happens all the time in cases where compliance with specific performance orders seems unlikely.
