"ok here we go... 1) Were the leaves outside of someones property? as a rule it is the property owners duty to maintain the paths outside of their homes and not the council. 2) you could sue god but thats already been done, several times and it always ends with the person suing the deity loosing 3) Chances are it will be on CCTV somewhere. either ARC monitoring, highways agency or private CCTV. however to get a copy costs between £20 to whatever the private company wants to charge 4) Personally you would be better suing the water board.... due to them poorly maintaining the sewers and systems, there was inadequate drainage which led to your spill (see what i did there?) ..... you could also counter it with the "Down stream" law and point out that due to the above reasoning, they were denying themselves access to said amounts and could technically charge them. but if you are going to sew them, it can be a bit of a slippery slope ") It was outside a council building.
