Hi Alistair

Leaves once detached from the twig are regarded in law as a "wild thing" 
similar to cats which are not bound under the ownership of the owner when 
they free to roam around (dogs are the opposite - the owner has a duty of 
responsibility for a dog if its roaming out and about) and cause a problem.

Morning folks

Can anyone tell me whether fallen leaves from encroaching branches are 
considered to remain under the ownership of the tree owner? If they are, can 
they be reasonably given back to the owner (if you were like that!)?. Our 
Mynors is in a box somewhere after our office move so can't look anything up 
at the moment.

Cheers
