Can a mill operator prevent a logger from obtaining title to a parcel of land that is not owned by the mill operator?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Nazemi v. Goodman, B209989, No. LC075586 (Cal. App. 2010):
As an illustration, where mill operators did not control logger's work methods but only furnished tractor and paid for timber cut, logger was independent contractor, whose knowledge of title status of timber land could not be imputed to mill operators. (Sills v. Siller, supra, 218 Cal.App.2d at pp. 740-741.) In fact, "there was no evidence of any control in the method of doing the work." (Id., at p. 741.)
