    By s1(1) of the Criminal Damage Act 1971: A person who without lawful excuse destroys or damages any property belonging to another intending to destroy or damage any such property or being reckless as to whether any such property would be destroyed or damaged shall be guilty of an offence. The definitions of property belonging to another, proprietary interest and damage etc are all provided for by the Act and all define this as Criminal Damage.

    Very interesting, Daniel.

    I find it hard to believe that you are even asking that question. In the case of the tree removal, there is both mens rea, intent to commit the act, and actus reus, the criminal act itself, which are necessary to show to 'make' a criminal offence. In the case of the tree affecting the foundations, the damage is being caused by the tree which is the property and responsibility of the home owner. In any case, if the tenant had responsibility for the tree, such an act as you describe would be an act of omission, not a criminal act. You are trying to compare two totally different situations. If you want the full details of what constitutes the exact detail, I can recommend pp988-991, Criminal Law (Smith and Hogan, OUP 12th edition).

    Removal of a mature tree like that is plainly criminal damage.

    Get well soon, mate. Get a good hot curry from Omar's.

    Best tip I can give you in your position is don't turn your back on your old job completely. This business can sometimes be a bit patchy and the odd 'special guest appearance' in your old trade can help make ends meet.

    Get some braces and make sure your trousers are pulled up before lunging.

    Turn up, do as you're told, stay off your mobile, be keen, work hard and don't moan.

    I prefer the orange as it goes nicely with my spray-tan.

    Americans liberated your area then, I take it.

    Might be that bloke who was on here a while ago asking about silenced saws.

    He hasn't misrepresented the wood as being seasoned and it isn't even logged up so it's clear that the buyer can't just chuck it straight on his fire. No problem there that I can see.

    I agree about the 135 being good but a Husqy 135 is not a 'pro' saw so isn't affected by mail order selling restrictions from Stihl and Husqvarna. Anyway, you turned up to buy in person so the retailer was in a position to be satisfied that you were a competent user.

    Trust me, you don't want to see it!

    What a scrote. Best you can do in that case is report them to Ebay and make an offer to sell to the 2nd highest bidder.

    Would that be classed as a MonkeyD suit?

    I've got a really nice Isuzu Denver as a company car which I like to keep in decent condition for when I'm on estate business and private use. If it's anywhere iffy that I need to get into, I drag out my old Mazda B2500 which will go anywhere and already has a 'working vehicle exterior'.

    An excellent philosophy to live by.

    My first chipper job was a Bay. Smelt delicious!
