The diary of an obsessive compulsive arborist

[Stephen Blair]

what and spoil my fun? cos you cant tell me what is going to happen to THIS chestnut if it gets unaccustomed wind exposure from right of image (even making it easy)

 

Your just trying to cover yourself because it was you that topped the chessnut 20 years ago, a belated alibi so to speak:sneaky2:

Cool thread Hama. Nice little video..Clear and informative.

. If we was to expose this tree to unaccustomed wind loading and it failed as a result a decent expert witness may find us liable for causing the failure even though we had no contact. .

 

 

I know you have said "may" here, but I'm interested to know if you have read of any specific cases or precedences where someone has become liable due to this scenario ?

Could it be inferred by the 'but for' test?
