This work discusses the legal issues arising from root penetration in sewage pipes in a cohesive and detailed manner. After an overview of the technical basics, it first deals with (preliminary) questions relating to all claims: the allocation of ownership of the sewage pipe, possible contributory negligence, the deduction of new for old. With regard to the individual claims, the focus is on the claim for removal and the effects of prohibitions contained in tree protection bylaws. This is followed by a discussion of claims for monetary payment (claims for damages, management without mandate, unjust enrichment). The work is rounded off with a discussion of possible claims under insurance law.
