Re: Fallen trees| negligence vs Act of God not sure of the laws here in oz but in New Hampshire, in the event of tree failure unless the tree had been appropriately appraised by a consulting arborist and a formal document pertaining to this had been lodged then each property was responsible for the portion of tree that ended up in their property after the failure. I think this is a fantastic rule because it brings conjoining properties together to be concerned about trees within their immediate area not just what's overhanging their fence. |
