Trees

The cases begin with a felled oak and follow trees onto a neighbour’s ground and into accidents.

• The Felled OakA man cuts down an oak that stands on his neighbour’s land. What does he owe?
• The Woodcutter’s ShoutA felled tree strikes a passer-by. Does the woodcutter pay?
• The Neighbour’s ApplesAn apple tree on one man’s land drops its fruit on his neighbour’s. Whose is the fruit?

Cases are listed in the order of the book. Each case page says where it comes from.
