Andy the rodent damage was picked up by the client. I'm no expert on whose responsible, liabilty etc.

 

I imagine though if any client has a brace installed it becomes there responsibilty to have this checked on a regular basis, not the neccesarly the company who installed it, maybe the company will just advise on maintenance/inspection schedules.

 

That way it becomes the responsabilty of the tree owner.

 

 

 

On a side note the college I worked at in Oxford had one of the oldest and largest Horse chesnuts in Oxford. It had a numerous old steel cable braces, installed by the University parks department tree gang.

 

Only the gang had'nt been round to check on the tree in over 10 years, and one year it shed 2 large limbs after braces failed, these limbs where lost over the students BBQ area!! No one was in the area when the limbs shed.

 

As I understood it, the parks department were not responsable because we had'nt scheduled them to inspect the trees in over 10 years.

 

We got a different company in to do a survey, all trees were tag'd and maintenance schedules written up, providing the college sticks to the maintenance schedules and has regular inspections carried out its possible that company could be held liable for failed trees, if proven suffcient steps were not taken to prevent this.

 

But I really do not know.
