So what should they done? Fulfilled their end of the contract, free of charge, and hope they get the rightful fee paid somehow? I still don't feel they have broken the law but you seem to think they have.
Moral is if you want a service expect to pay for said service..don't want to pay then service is withdrawn.”

What I'm attempting to explain is why fly tipping is illegal, and why dumping a pile of mixed refuse into a garden, be it your own garden or somebody else's, and regardless of who owes money to who, is illegal. Evidently I have failed, and I cannot think of a better way to explain which you and others may understand.
Obviously it goes without saying that it is both illegal and immoral to not pay your dues, whatever they may be, and the woman was in the wrong.
Two wrongs doesn't make a right. How about that?
