  • A court order which stops the defendant from doing the act that has caused the nuisance (8, 10)

  • Public - Personal Injury, Economic loss, Damage to chattels (Halsey v Esso Petroleum Co Ltd). Private – compensation for the loss of value of the land, economic loss, damage to ‘chattels'. Remoteness Test - Wagon Mound (8, 7)
  • Public nuisance ‘materially affects the reasonable comfort and convenience of life of a class of Her Majesty’s subjects’ – AG v PYA Quarries Ltd (6, 8)
  • the reasonable use of land would not become unreasonable merely because it affected someone with a particular sensitivity unless ‘it interferes with the ordinary enjoyment of life" (Sensitivity of the Claimant) (8, 1, 7)
  • What would be a nuisance in Belgrave Square would not necessarily be so in Bermondsey’ (Locality) (7, 1, 8)
