Tree Removal - Owner is unwilling to pay anything towards the cost.

[drinksloe]

Dunno if this is still going on?

 

To be honest i'd probably make an excuse i'm too busy and leave it, sounds like it could be a right baw ache.

 

Also if ur tracking tons of timber 200m away, is it across a proper lawn? Or just rough ground.

I'd also be cautious incase u can be held laible for any damage caused while transporting the timber and if u are laible to reinstate any damage.

Might not be an issue if not a lot of timber or really dry ground/rough grass but the way this has went on it would not surprise me if u get blamed for something (if the nieghbours still blames the council for work they done 18yrs ago)

I just finding it interesting that in the event fails and falls through their roof and the other neighbour, the owner is liable to cover all the costs for repairs and tree clean up, and yet they can get away with no contribution to remove the risk and save tens of thousands, if not hundreds. 

 

Just scanning through this and found this part interesting. Surely in this case the insurance of the party who is damaged will pay for any work so the owner is still not contributing.Whoever wants it removed will pay if they want it enough. As earlier said just be happy they are not contesting the work if it's not already been done as the thread has run for months.
