I'm just saying it would be fair to give her the OPTION of keeping the house.

If she doesn't want it, the developer should indeed be forced to pay for it's removal, as has happened.

But my understanding is that she wasn't given the option to just keep the house for free, had she wanted it. Given her plans, i don't really expect the outcome would've been any different, tho one does wonder if the offer of a free house wouldn't have been tempting, had she been given it?

Suing her for unjust enrichment just kinda forced her hand to demand the building removed, which is why I'll go on record saying the developer here is likely insane, or else stupid enough as makes no difference
