<p class="MsoNormal">I believe this issue was touched on several years ago in the list serve and it has to do with liability, if any, of a party in excavating for a house cuts some of the roots on their property of a tree on adjacent property. The neighbor
is claiming if trees dies as a result of root cutting my client is responsible or is tree comes down because of inadequate root structure in wind storm my client is liable. Your thoughts would be appreciated thank you<o:p></o:p></p>
