[Dog Gone]

One of my neighbors has a tree very near my back fence that invariably dumps a ton of leaves into my swimming pool every autumn. It's not even a pretty tree.

It is a real pain in the butt to me. It clogs my filters and interferes with the pool sweep.

Think I should sue?

I'm sure you're speaking tongue-in-cheek, but you wouldn't have a leg to stand on from a legal standpoint as long as the tree is well-maintained. In fact, if there was a large storm and the tree blew over and crushed your house, your neighbor would have no liability whatsoever for your damage. The damage, like the falling of the leaves, is legally considered to be an act of nature provided that the neighbor took reasonable steps to keep the tree healthy.

"Think I should sue?"

That's a loaded question given some of the control freaks on this thread.
