[CANUFNET] need examples of civil cases

[SVescio at thunderbay.ca]

Hello everyone,
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.

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.
