Plymouth City Council (26 012 964)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Trees 04-Aug-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s actions relating to an insurance claim. This is because there would be no worthwhile outcome by us investigating. This is because we cannot achieve what the complainant wants and only a court can decide if the Council is liable to pay for damages to a house. It would be reasonable to expect Miss X to use her court remedy in this instance.
