Re: borderline tree

Since the tree is already down, both parties have nothing to gain by continuing the fight.

This would be a good case for an independent written legal opinion which both sides would agree to be binding.

Go to mediation and get everything out on the table,--including what the person who cut down the tree is prepared to do in teh event he had no legal right to cut down the tree.
