Nuisance private

Private nuisance Private nuisance is related to the ownership of land and has been defined as where a person is unlawfully annoyed, prejudiced or disturbed in the enjoyment of their land, whether by physical damage to the land or by other interference with the enjoyment of land or with his health, comfort or convenience as occupier . The degree of disturbance must be examined. If physical damage to structures or to health can be shown, nuisance is likely to be proven.
