A homeowner in Australia blamed six neighbouring trees for damage to her 130-year-old heritage home and sought $23,650.86 for repairs and tree removal. The NSW Land and Environment Court rejected her claim, finding that evidence did not establish a causal link between the trees and the damage, with moisture conditions and other factors identified as possible causes.
