That wasn't "the impossible", it was the mundane in a pretty simple job, is just chainsaws and trees. The opening and closing titles were good though, they talk a good fight for you.

Could it be a Hornbeam?

Mine charges a fiver but that's every 4 weeks, he would need a round the size of the world to be doing 400 quid a day every day

But the branches don't belong to the arborist they are the property of the tree owner, he can say he doesn't want them but can he disavow ownership? In the park scenario, LA's (an others) are fond of habitat piles, each one of which would be a breach of the rules but they serve a purpose.

Errrr, if its the councils tree and their land and the arb is engaged by them there is no issue. Accepted but equally there is no reason someone should pat for the disposal of another's waste It cant be guaranteed to determine the matter but it will be a huge factor. Its a well established fact that the arising's belong to the tree owner

Mate that's free advice from a legal firms website, couched to keep them liability safe and designed to get you to call them so they can start charging you, its not the law that you promised. The point here is that the arising's belong to the tree owner and, along with the tree are their legal and moral responsibility. There is no reason the neighbour should have to pay for the disposal of the branches, so the tree owner should have them back or pay for the disposal particularly when that can be a major part of the job.

Link???

I have on several occasions on the direct instruction of a client.

Is that a "law book"? and if you read it, it says "yours to dispose of", that doesn't say you cant return it to the owners property.

The branches are the property of the tree owner removing them without permission is theft. They are also part of the tree owners property and while they may leave is property for a short while for handling reasons they don't effectively leave his land. How can that be fly tipping, would any judge convict you of fly tipping under those circumstances? Has anyone been convicted of fly tipping under those circumstances? Continuing from that, it is accepted that recovering costs from a non actionable nuisance is as good as impossible the same cant be said for the disposal of the waste and there is no reason the offended party should bear the cost of disposal. If the tree owner refused the return of the waste the other party can offer an action to recover the cost of disposal. Once that is made clear to the tree owner the likelihood of them declining is greatly reduced and the likelihood of an injunction is in the realms of the uberstubborn

Give us a clue then, what books did you read it up in? If the branches are the property of the tree owner you cant fly tip them because they are his property, the very worse it can get is trespass and that's unlikely. If the tree owner did seek an injunction the other party can offer a counter suit to recover the cost of disposal of the offending branches.

Quality :laugh1:

No it isnt

If what came first wins, the common law right to abate a nuisance existed a long time before that tree came into being.

The errant parts of the tree are committing a trespass all of their own without penalty. Q. What's the penalty if you commit a trespass (without causing damage)? A. None, well nothing you would be concerned about.

The law actually says that the arising's belong to the owner of the tree, if you take them its called theft. Some will say returning the arising's could amount to fly tipping but since the material originates from that property you are merely returning the owners property. You should take reasonable care to do no damage while returning them. There is certainly no law that says you cant return the arising's to the owner but there is a law that says the arising's belong to them.

It cant be fly tipping if the material originates from that land

Show me where it says that in law...........

You can check the nose weight with a stick under the ball head resting on bathroom scales

The powers that be wont like the nose weight, they will find something to yank your chain

They are pretty easy to strip, any springs will be in the detent (the bit on the opposite side to the handle) but they are pretty harmless. Seals will be standard rubber "O" rings.

That's more than double the rangers nose weight

This is completely spurious Your common law rights allow you to prune back to the boundary and that means whatever work is required. If the tree cannot survive without the trespass then so be it, the survival of the tree cannot be used as a reason to licence the trespass. The common law rights exclude the criminal damage because criminal damage requires a criminal act and your common law rights make pruning back an entirely legitimate undertaking. Criminal damage also requires the intent or "Mens rea" to commit a crime. TPO and CA notwithstanding

You can either run it off its own engine and pump or if your towing vehicle will run a PTO you can pipe that to the back and use quick release fittings I would advise caution on the nose weight, it will probably tow like a turd until you get some weight on the back.
