  • My tree damaged the neighbours wall

    I moved into a house 4 months ago. A tree in our garden had cracked the neighbours garden wall. They had discussions with previous owners about moving the tree. We have since taken the tree down but the neighbours want us to pay to fix the wall that was damaged before we moved in. Please advise?*

    difficult one, but IMO on balance of probabilities you are not liable
    You can be held liable for damage caused, even if some damage has occurred before you bought the property if you fail to take reasonable steps to bring it to an end.
    You ended the nuisance soon after moving in, and the damage was caused during the previous owners occupation.

    However you will be living next door to these people for some while, so I would try coming to some form of arrangement to share the cost. Afterall the wall is presumably facing your land as well

      Did your sellers disclose the tree dispute/damage in the sellers pack?
      "Although scalar fields are Lorentz scalars, they may transform nontrivially under other symmetries, such as flavour or isospin. For example, the pion is invariant under the restricted Lorentz group, but is an isospin triplet (meaning it transforms like a three component vector under the SU(2) isospin symmetry). Furthermore, it picks up a negative phase under parity inversion, so it transforms nontrivially under the full Lorentz group; such particles are called pseudoscalar rather than scalar. Most mesons are pseudoscalar particles." (finally explained to a captivated Celestine by Professor Brian Cox on Wednesday 27th June 2012 )
