Hello,

You could not do anything with respect to the Provincial land aside from reporting the matter (it would be up for the Province to pursue that). As far as your own land goes, you would need to ascertain the value of the trees that were 'topped' as this would form the bulk of your financial claim (and can also determine whether you're within Small Claims or Superior Court).

If your claim ultimately is below the Small Claims threshold ($25,000), then you can proceed with that process on your own (you can retain counsel if you want assistance putting the legal case together but are not, strictly speaking, required to do so in Small Claims). For information on B.C.'s Small Claims Courts, see: LINK.

The Police would not be involved since it would not fall under a 'criminal' trespass scenario but a civil trespass.

Regards XXXXX XXXXX wishes.



NOTE: Please be advised that you have posted numerous questions that have been answered (including this very same question) and have failed to accept them. This practice can not only result in Experts refusing to take on your questions but may be seen as abuse of JA's service. I would recommend you review your outstanding questions to determine whether they are deserved of your 'Accept' or not.
