Zuletzt haben sich Meldungen von mutwillig vergifteten Bäumen in Hessen gehäuft. Wer tut so was? Experten sagen, große Bäume seien in ihrem Wert kaum zu ersetzen. Wie können Stadtbäume besser geschützt werden? Und: Werden Täter zu lasch bestraft?
After purchasing a property or in the course of carrying out construction work, property owners often receive an unwelcome and unexpected surprise in the form of contaminated sites, harmful soil pollution and fly-tipping. The financial implications are usually considerable, not least because the authorities almost always turn to the property owner in the first instance. Furthermore, pursuant to case law, the owner is liable to pay the costs for the removal of the contamination at least up to the market value of the land. We find economically viable solutions for plant operators, housing associations and individuals who own or manage real estate. Even though it is not always possible to avoid recourse to legal protection in (summary) proceedings, we endeavour to negotiate swift, permanent solutions in the interest of our clients.
