I would assume that as long as you can say that you
haven't undertaken
long term management of the trees in question i.e. you did
this as a one
off, you can make a case saying we undertook the works for
'whatever
reason' - which does not confer either ownership or
assumed management,
it just means you're being a diligent authority. On the
other hand if
you have been managing the trees for some time there may be
a level of
assumed liability.
Tell them to go to land registry and find the real owners
but advise
your own legal dept of the situation.

But tree pruning doesn't automatically assume
ownership.
Just say "we made a mistake." It does happen, and
to all of us
especially
Insurance Companies, who will no doubt be mistaken in their
attribution
of blame
to the trees.
