This duty arises from: • Occupiers’ Liability Act (1957 and 1984). • Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) • Highways Act (1980) • Common Law liability of Negligence and Nuisance The Council’s tree management regime maintenance contract is required to minimise the risk of liability arising from our Duty of Care and other statutory and common law obligations.
