Neighbour#1 had a palm tree that caused damage to 2 fences. The palm tree was cut down to ground level and removed. Both fences were lifted by the root system and are out of alignment. One fence was leaning. The fences were left damaged and a large attack type dog was able to get through the fence from from Neighbour#1’s property and onto Neighbour#2’s property, get into an enclosure and kill Neighbour#2’s cat. What recourse has Neighbour#2 got?

Is this in NSW? Have a look at this fact sheet. I believe the owner may have committed an offence by not restraining the dog which then attacked another animal on a property that was not its own territory. Fines and compensation may apply. The blame for the hole in the fence is less significant than the responsibility for a dangerous animal.
