Opis

This fully revised third edition gives an up-to-date, practical, and comprehensive account of the statutory nuisance regime in the UK. As a guide through each step, the book takes the reader from initial assessment of a potential nuisance, through document drafting to the magistrates' court, and beyond to the higher courts. Clear, readable, and user-friendly, it provides lucid explanation, practical guidance, and the primary materials needed in court. Accessible to the layman, yet illuminating to the experienced practitioner, Statutory Nuisance expresses a view on the issues not yet resolved by the UK courts. It covers all relevant UK case law, legislative changes, and developments.
