Who's Liable?

Re: Who\'s Liable?

A lot of our laws are formed by help from interested groups; even lobbies.

In this case the insurance companies got it how they want it. If a tree falls across 5 yards, and the only uninsured homeowner is in the center; they get no help; becuase they didn't pay into the system etc.(as it was explained to me several times).

i dug around several times and asked etc. about the school deal. i had looked at her trees to see if they were 'okay' 6 months prior; they looked in glorius health(Live Oaks). i didn't hop the fence to look further, and was being careful not to look suspicious as it was during class time etc. The damage was to the opposite side of my view.

Trouble is Eric we are not talking about planting in the majority of cases in the UK. The trees where there long before the houses were built.........
 
Re: Who\'s Liable?

In your situation I would walk away after laeving a price for both. In the area where we do our jobs it is the tree owners who is responceable for it all.
I deal with these things on the campus when some storms ripped our area a year ago. 2 cars swatted by a 12 dbh tree that had come down in the trenchal down pour and wind. The campus took care of the costs of the cars and the tree removal, including rental cars for the students.
When it comes to nieghbor vs nieghbor keep your nose clean and act proffesional, and if it get dirty walk away.

From what I have seen I think UK preservation laws are quite tough, the trees get right of way and I doubt you could just whip off half the canopy back to the fenceline and disfigure the tree or half kill it.

Also, there's anomolies here where rules allow one to cut back to fencelines not targets and collars etc, so you see a mass of stubs sticking out of the trunk ... a violation of the pruning code but allowed due to the tresspass thing, however, if the tree has a protection order then it is not allowed.
