Trees and Plants Casebook

This casebook introduces the reader to some of the legal issues and implications surrounding trees and plants which are particularly relevant to surveyors, valuers and other property professionals.

The background story of some of the cases has been given, to provide context for the practitioner. In other instances, just the key point of law to emerge or be illustrated by the case is covered. For those who are not conversant with the general framework of the law or wanting a refresher, there are many good introductory law books aimed at property professionals, such as Galbraith's Construction and Estate Management Law (pub. Routledge), to which useful reference may be made. The key point sub-headings under Topics should also aid comprehension of the law but recourse to further reading is recommended.

As a casebook, there will be regular updates and the author welcomes notifications of errors, omissions or any other observations.

The book primarily relates to the law of England and Wales but those in other common law jurisdictions will also find matters of relevance.
