<p>In Ontario the primary legislated duty is found under the Occupiers' Liability Act R.S.O. 1990, Chapter O.2.</p>

<p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; font-family: 'open sans' , 'helvetica neue' , 'helvetica' , 'arial' , sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;"><strong>2 </strong>Subject to section 9, this Act applies in place of the rules of the common law that determine the care that the occupier of premises at common law is required to show for the purpose of determining the occupier's liability in law in respect of dangers to persons entering on the premises or the property brought on the premises by those persons. <span style="color: #666666;">R.S.O. 1990, c. O.2, s. 2.</span></p>
<p style="color: #222222; font-size: 1.2em; font-family: 'open sans' , 'helvetica neue' , 'helvetica' , 'arial' , sans-serif; font-weight: bold; background-color: #ffffff;">Occupier's duty</p>
<p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; font-family: 'open sans' , 'helvetica neue' , 'helvetica' , 'arial' , sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;"><strong>3 </strong>(1) An occupier of premises owes a duty to take such care as in all the circumstances of the case is reasonable to see that persons entering on the premises, and the property brought on the premises by those persons are reasonably safe while on the premises.</p>
<p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; font-family: 'open sans' , 'helvetica neue' , 'helvetica' , 'arial' , sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;">Note that it says on the premises, it does not mention off the premises, but caused by something arising from the premises. This might be looked for in Common Law case rulings.</p>

At that time, I was retained by the coroner. This mandate was for municipalities, conservation authorities, parks and institutions managing large populations of trees. I would like to know in the case of municipalities how private trees targeting public lands are being evaluated and monitored? Sadly, I am in the middle of this now.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'aptos' , 'aptos_embeddedfont' , 'aptos_msfontservice' , 'calibri' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;">Secondly, I would appreciate any opinions on what the average homeowner is expected or should know about trees at risk on their properties. I do know about Property Standards ans associated bylaws.</div>
