490			_aSolicitors' Journal _v145(47) 14 December 2001, 1148-1149(2)
520			_aExamines the consequences of the recent "Delaware Mansions v Westminster CC" decision concerning liability of tree owners for property damage caused by their trees. The HL upheld the new owners' claim for root damage despite English law generally not allowing a person to recover damages for loss that has been incurred by someone else. HL applied the rule established by " Sedleigh-Denfield v O'Callaghan" (1940) that a landowner on whose land a hazard arises is under a duty of care to take such steps as are reasonable to ensure his neighbour does not sustain damage.
