Ruling: [Beit din almost succeeded in getting the sides to agree to a compromise, explaining that in order to find out the truth on some of the claims, which might not even be possible, would require several thousands of NIS and much effort from all sides. After agreeing to a compromise number, the sides squabbled over ancillary matters and pl withdrew his agreement.]
The gemara (Bava Metzia 108a) says that when drainage that goes from field-to-field clogs up, the people in the higher fields must help pay for the blockage at the lower fields, which affect all of them. However, if the blockage is in the upper fields and does not affect the bottom ones, the latter do not have to pay for the needs of the former. According to that model, there is basis to make def reimburse pl so that they pay in equal parts. This is also binding based on common practice and local law.
In this case, def agreed to have pl act according to the needs of the two of them, which is binding without any further act of kinyan (Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat 182:1). It still needs to be determined whether the steps that pl took on behalf of both pl and def were within the realm of the acceptable, which is required for def to be required to chip in equally (see ibid. 176:10; Rama, CM 182:3). If the price of the job were low, it is possible that we would presume that the neighbors give the one representing them free rein, but not for cases like this which came to many thousands of NIS. This is one of the matters that beit din cannot determine just based on the pictures and descriptions provided.
The Rosh (Shut 107:6) is among those who rule that when it is the most reasonable thing to do, beit din can rule based on compromise even when the sides do not agree to it, and this is also specified in our arbitration agreement. The Shulchan Aruch (CM 12:5) mentions as one of the cases, when the ruling cannot be clarified. The same is true when it is not in the interest of the sides to try to clarify.
We will continue next time with analyzing the relative strength of the claims in order to arrive at a proper compromise.

The question was asked, how can one make Aliyah with the LGBT parades?
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 7 - Five Accumulative Proofs of G-d
As a preparation for the Kuzari's classic proof of G-d from the mass-revelation at Sinai, we start here with 5 other directions to strengthen our belief which also contribute to what the Kuzari will present as well.
Ein Aya Muscle & Meaning: The Dual Nature of Gevurah (Physical Strength)
Is physical strength and fitness a necessity or an ideal? Although it if often totally overlooked among topics of Judaism, Rav Kook writes that it clearly is also a necessity to deter the many enemies of Israel, but even in Y'mot HaMashiach, in the Messianic era, to a certain extent, it's ideal continues even after our enemies will have been finished off.
Chukat "HOW ENTEBBE STOLE THE BICENTENNIAL
The Difference Between Historic & Eternal"
As we approach America's 250th birthday, it's worth remembering her 200th Bicentennial birthday, on Jul. 4th 1976, when Israel "stole the show" by shocking the world & miraculously saving 101 hostages in a foreign continent. As Pres. As Pres. Trump decides which countries get priority in his new Middle-East, it's worth reminding him of the difference between historic events and eternally historic ones. This obviously connects with this week's parsha, as well!

Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 5- "Proofs of G-d"
This may be the most important class of the entire book, where we finally get to the Jewish proof of the existence of G-d and truth of the Torah. We should follow His own direction where He tells us how to get to Him: through the Nation of Israel: Jewish history, Jewish prophets (and today, prophecies fulfilled), and national reward & punishment towards Am Yisrael.
Ein Aya One Humanity, One Creator, One Jerusalem
Rav Kook innovatively and beautifully explains this aggadeta where our sages say that after Jerusalem was destroyed her cinnamon fragrance is only found locked in a particular kingdom's treasury.
