I wanna be a judge when I grow up!

So evadently a couple guys ran into a tree. The state where the case was brought is a no-fault state meaning the people pressing chanrges didn't stand a chance. The lower court ruled as such. What follows is the court's actual written decision from the appeal.
"We thought that we would never see
A suit to compensate a tree.
A suit whose claim in tort is prest
Upon a mangled tree's behest;
A tree whose battered trunk was prest
Against a Chevy's crumpled crest;
A tree that faces each new day
With bark and limb in disarray;
A tree that may forever bear
A lasting need for tender care.
Flora lovers though we three,
We must uphold the court's decree.
Affirmed"
Fisher v. Lowe, 122 Mich. App. 418, 419 (Mich. Ct. App., 1983)
