Common law of nuisance

The common law of nuisance refers to legal principles that address situations where one person's use of their property interferes with another person's enjoyment or use of theirs. It covers issues like excessive noise, unpleasant odors, or pollution that cause inconvenience or harm. The law aims to balance individual property rights with the need for harmonious coexistence, allowing affected parties to seek remedies such as stopping the nuisance or compensation. Essentially, it helps ensure that private use of property does not unjustly harm neighbors or the community.
