I have known it to work where there is something physical and tangible involved; some friends of mine got a large gas tank removed from their premises by threatening to charge the owner ground rent if they did not take it away within 28 days. But that is slightly different, as there was a great big metal gas tank involved, they gave prior notice and they were running commercial premises, so it was fairly easy for them to establish a reasonable cost for hosting the tank that any court would enforce.

If you start invoicing them for something as intangible as your administration time I think they will ignore you, and unless you are already self employed and can demonstrate what your time is worth, what argument will you take to court in order to force them to pay when they continue to ignore you?
