Hi Graham
The law on leaves is based on judicial law and as you quote, "once they
have left the tree, are subject to the will of God". I cannot quote the
precedent law but, I believe it may be covered in the AAIS Trees in
Focus publication. I'm sorry to say, but I personally find people that
have a problem with leaves, a bit hard to bare. It is a fact of life, part
of the gardening year and a price well worth paying for to enjoy the
beauty, luxury and enjoyment of trees. Only thing is, there is a liability
to clear them from paths and roads as they cause a slip hazard (where
appropriate) but, the owner of the land has that duty of care.

Hi UKTC, I am looking for a point of reference with regard to the law on
fallen leaves. I have heard it said that leaves are no longer the owners
responsibility on leaving the tree from which they grew. Is this a true fact
or a well used excuse for avoiding leaf clearance obligations on adjacent
land ? Has the adjacent owner any rights concerning return of the leaves to
their owner.
I am clear on the position with respect to fruit and overhanging branches,
but have not been able to find any case law on leaves as yet.
Thanks for your help in anticipation.
Regards to all Graham Banks
