UK Law Case |
Davey v Harrow Urban
District Council. 1957 |
| This case
involved a claim by the plaintiff against the District Council for damages to his property
caused by roots of neighbouring trees. The defendants denied ownership of the land that
the trees were on and also claimed that the trees had not been planted but had been self
sown and were growing naturally for 200 years. Judgement was given in favour of the
defendants. However, upon appeal by the plaintiff, it was proven that the trees were
actually owned by the council and that whether a tree is planted or self sown makes no
difference as to the liability for the trees actions. The appeal was allowed. |
