If you knowingly knew that there was a potential hazard in your
garden, and a visitor was not made aware of the hazard.

Then yes you would be liable for injury, just as if you had known that
a branch was broken and it had fell off and landed on the roof of a
car.

So in this day and age the council is probably right, and cordoned off
the tree, and attempted to remove the hazard.

Do you want to be sued for $$$$$$.

I think a sign on the gate would be adequate ??


Whilst trying to collet all the walnuts which were falling like rain this
morning, on fell on my head, as councils are stopping people walking under
conker trees in case conkers fall on their heads, should I refrain from
walking under the walnut?

At last an chance to repeat a quotation from an American whose name I
now forget: "You may hate gravity; but gravity doesn't care."

It's not so much the danger that a visitor had been hit, but protecting
myself from serious injury from a falling nut which concerns me!
