Default root barriers -- protecting property from neighbor's trees

Has anyone ever had any success in taking a neighbor to court for
intentionally planting a tree that they know will encroach on your

First off, have you tried talking to the neighbor before suing him?
Second, while most trees are indeed planted intentionally, I seriously
doubt his intention was to damage your property. Third, the whole
concept of roots damaging home foundations is very debatable.
