If a man cuts down one of his trees expecting it to fall on his own land, he is not liable for intentional trespass if by miscalculation the tree falls on his neighbour's land. It would be otherwise if the tree fell where he wanted it to fall, but without his knowledge this turned out to be on the land of his neighbour. The latter case is considered to be one of intentional intrusion, albeit under mistake, and is nevertheless actionable. 1, record 1, English, - intentional%20intrusion

Si un homme coupe un arbre en pensant qu'il tombera sur son propre terrain, il n'est pas responsable d'une atteinte directe intentionnelle si l'arbre tombe par erreur chez son voisin. Il en serait autrement si l'arbre tombait à l'endroit voulu, mais que l'homme ne savait pas que ce terrain appartenait à son voisin. Il s'agirait alors d'une atteinte intentionnelle qui, malgré qu'elle résulte d'une erreur, donnerait ouverture à une poursuite. 2, record 1, French, - atteinte%20intentionnelle

... if (one who cuts down a tree) had thought that he owned all the land on which the tree would possibly fall and intentionally cut it so that it would come down on land which turns out to be his neighbour's, he has committed an intentional trespass under mistake. The actual result which has come to pass was intended under the erroneous notion that it would not violate another's rights. 1, record 2, English, - intentional%20trespass
