The Court allowed the appeal of Defendants 3-5 on liability, holding that supervision and maintenance of the roadside tree was the responsibility of the local authority (Defendants 1 and 2) under section 101(b) Local Government Act 1976; Defendants 6 and 7 were not liable because their maintenance concession had expired; the trial court's factual finding that the tree was rotten and top-heavy causing the fall was upheld and applied to attribute liability to the local council rather than JKR or the former concessionaire.
