"Contrary to what most people think, homeowners actually owe a duty of care to trespassers to ensure they do not come to any harm, which means if there is a hazard on your property you might reasonably be expected to offer some protection."

So someone who causes themselves harm in a place where they should not be is somehow my fault?


"If your neighbour's tree has branches that overhang into your garden then the law allows you to cut them off, but you must not go beyond the boundary line and you must give the cut branches back to your neighbour."

Surely a branch is worth er.... nothing. so you've "stolen" something worth zero.


"Although it's OK to cut down an overhanging branch, it is not OK to pick fruit from it without your neighbour's permission. By law, the fruit belongs to your neighbour, as does any fruit that falls onto your land from your neighbour's tree."

Seriously? An apple sitting on my lawn that fell off of it's own accord a branch overhanging my garden belongs to my neighbour?
