A Practical Guide to the Law in Relation to Tree Root Subsidence Claims is an essential resource for anyone involved in tree related subsidence disputes. Written by Sarah Dodd, solicitor and founder of Tree Law Limited, this comprehensive guide explains the law, procedure, and evidence that underpin tree root subsidence claims in the UK.

Covering everything from liability and causation to expert evidence, case law, and insurance considerations, the book gives clear practical guidance to lawyers, insurers, loss adjusters, engineers, surveyors, and local authorities. It draws together key decisions such as Delaware Mansions v Westminster City Council, Berent v Family Mosaic, and Solloway v Hampshire County Council, alongside the most recent case developments up to September 2025.

Structured for everyday use, this guide includes straightforward explanations, checklists, and examples that make complex legal principles easy to apply in practice. It’s the go-to reference for professionals managing tree root subsidence damage claims, from mitigation, claims to recover damages and TPO compensation claims.

Whether you’re advising a homeowner, defending a local authority, or negotiating with an insurer, this book helps you understand the law, reduce risk, and resolve tree related disputes efficiently.
