An owners corporation sought the removal of a tree on a lot owner's property, claiming it was damaging a common property garage wall. The tribunal agreed the tree was causing damage and likely to cause more, so ordered its removal. However, it also determined the owners corporation should pay for the removal and replacement trees to compensate the lot owner.
