THE CONCEPT OF NUISANCE
Downloads
Abstract
The word nuisance is derived from a French word ‘‘nuire’’ which means ‘’to hurt or annoy’’.
According to Blackstone, nuisance is ‘’ a species of real injuries to a man’s lands and tenements which may be defined as anything done to the hurt or annoyance of the lands, tenements, or hereditaments of another’’. The definition itself covers the variety of wrongs occurring under nuisance.
Under the common law, land owners or lease holders etc who possess the real property have a right to enjoy their property to the fullest. Though this does not include those people who have no interest in the property of the owner or who is a visitor to such property. If an individual or a neighbor interferes with the quiet enjoyment of the land by owner, either by making sound or pollution or any other type of interference, then the owner of such property who has been affected by such interference, have the right to claim a remedy under the law of nuisance.
