<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hello everyone,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We recently obtained a guilty charge
in Provincial Offences Court for an individual who removed two mature red
pines from the boulevard in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Our lawyer did
not ask for a large fine because the evidence was largely circumstantial
and he wanted to obtain a guilty charge, so that we could pursue the case
in civil court. Now that we have obtained that, we will be suing
for the value of the two trees.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I am interested in obtaining leads on
cases that CANUFNET members are aware of where the value of an urban tree
was successfully (or even not successfully) obtaining through legal action.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.</font>
