as i say the highways act could be used by councils, but they obviously would need to have the will to do so. things like Disturbance of surface of certain highways, and penalty for placing rope, etc. across highway. There will no doubt be plenty more, but if they are not too bothered and your not then it looks like you will mostly get away with it.
Has nothing to do with councils.
If someone stumbles and breaks his leg, you are responsible. The guy who broke his leg will go to your insurance, not to the council. If your insurance doesn’t pay (which depends on outside factors), court it is.
You’re not breaking council law by using the cable that way, but you’re still open to liability if something goes wrong because you’re, in legal terms, “using” your car when charging. That means you’re responsible for what happens around that activity.
