This is why you don't fuck around with tree law.

I used to work at a condo building that chopped down a few trees without city permission. Talk about a spanking, they made the owners replace the trees and paid a fine of like $2k per tree

She definetly barked up the wrong tree. Best to leave them alone otherwise they will stick it to your bank account.

Make like a tree and just leave

The judge also granted an injunction prohibiting Khatkar from entering or interfering with the claimant's property.

Slap the side and say "Ah, that'll do it."

Not really much else you can do besides chaining them inside their home in a gimp suit with a Persian man minding them with a paddle and a smile

The neighbouring properties were separated by a chain link fence, with a cedar hedge comprised on the side owned by a numbered company, 0973210 B.C. Ltd, according to the decision.

Did you read the rest or did you stop there ? The lady repeatedly trespassed, was warned by the police she was trespassing and reduced healthy 15ft trees to 5 feet tall by repeatedly cutting them with a chainsaw.

Imagine you’re renting a place and your psycho neighbour keeps hacking your trees with a chainsaw.

Company owned or individually owned, that has nothing to do with it.

Yeah we had a neighbor who didn't like our tree and went up at nice to partly saw branches, do that it would look like they fell naturally during the next windstorm. Some people are just pricks and others' greenery

I despise corporations and investment properties, but.I hate Karen's too. In the end she fucked around and found out, whoever owned the damaged property is irrelevant.

Sounds like a company owns the house and lets it out.
