     British Columbia homeowner is charged in $35,000 by court for cutting down a neighbor’s trees to improve the Shuswap Lake view

     In a notable ruling, a woman from British Columbia secured a $35,000 award from the court after her neighbors maliciously damaged her trees. While she had permitted the planting of small saplings, her larger trees were improperly cut and topped. The neighbors acted on unreliable information, disregarding the guidelines, which led to the loss of shade and enjoyment of her property.
