520 _aAssesses the legal implications of repairing damage caused by tree roots, with reference to the decisions in "Delaware Mansions Ltd and another v Westminster LBC and other" ([2001] UKHL 55, X118299) and "Kirk v Brent LBC" ([2005] EWCA Civ 1701, unreported). It is clear that notice of root damage from one tree to one property must be considered notice of the likelihood of damage from a neighbouring or similar tree to an adjoining property, and arguable that the notice need not be specifically given by the claimant, ie a notice given by a former owner of the freehold might be sufficient.
