Must say, I gotta go with Ekka on this one. Being in UK., we got Duty of care. It is down to the individual to seek professional advice about their trees if they hav'nt got a clue.
Being near to some1 elses property and the public highway, the guy who owns the tree, not only will not be insured, but could also hold him to manslaughter if the worst happened.
Get knockin Ekka and advise the dude on good ownership practice.
