'My neighbour cut down my tree. Can I sue for damages?'

'My neighbour cut down my tree. Can I sue for damages?'

[AA Teccie (Paul)]

When we used to receive enquiries of this nature from tree owners we also used to make reference to 'possible' compensation claim for loss of amenity / enjoyment of the property and garden but the article makes no reference to that...perhaps it's "pie-in-the-sky."

 

Cheers..

Bit of a slow news day or something ? The picture is useless it doesn't say which side of the wall the tree was in the picture or show any evidence of the tree, what variety or how mature it was. It looks like they are just drumming up work for solicitors.

[Logrod]

You'd have thought it was fairly simple to decide on which side of the wall it was unless the neighbour used a stump grinder and then returfed that patch while the complainant was on holiday ?

[Al Mondz]

Sounds like trespass and criminal damage to me. I would throw the book at them.

[Mick Dempsey]

It's a made up story. Nothing to see here .

I wouldn't believe anything that newspaper printed.
