toffeeman Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Paul, I've never done this but it looks mighty impressive. Don't worry about the dodgy captions though. It's got to be worth a go!! CLICKY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stez Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Surely there is a duty of care on the land owner in ensuring that his trees and fruit from trees do not interfere or cause damage to people and property? Might be worth checking with CAB or your insurance to see if there is any mileage in this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fault probably lies with the woodpecker that was in the tree at the time and mostly they're not insured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used Dave at Denttec myself and can't fault his work. Check out the forum discount section and on his site you'll see my Z being repaired.

polarbear Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I've never done this but it looks mighty impressive. Don't worry about the dodgy captions though Judging by the cr*p paint on the Zed this technique would probably reduce the whole car to bare metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stez Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I think the fault probably lies with the woodpecker that was in the tree at the time and mostly they're not insured The Courts expect people to behave in a reasonable manner. We all owe, therefore, a duty of care to those around us and we must take reasonable care to avoid causing injury to people or damage to their property. We may fail in this duty and be negligent either because of our action or inaction. Liability, however, usually depends on whether a reasonable person should have foreseen the risk and taken action to prevent the incident. If the injury or damage could not have been foreseen then the owner may not be judged to have been negligent. However, trees are potentially dangerous structures and a reasonable person should, therefore, inspect them regularly to ensure they do not pose an unreasonable threat to people or property. A tree can never be regarded as completely safe and, as a result, the Courts expect a prudent landowner or tenant to inspect trees regularly, especially those trees in a position close to people and property. In many instances defects in trees usually start to develop many years before the tree becomes potentially unsafe. Regular inspections should identify and monitor such defects along with any other damage so that action can be taken before the trees become dangerous.
