Nuisance

Start with private nuisance

The page offers several routes into private nuisance. A Private Nuisance mind map introduces interference with land or its enjoyment and includes who can bring a claim. Another Nuisance mind map sets out who can sue, the elements of a claim and a reasonable-use test. These maps give you a starting point for seeing how the listed ideas fit together.

For a closer look at questions and cases, the Private Nuisance flashcard deck covers who can be sued, creators and occupiers. It also includes Hunter v Canary Wharf and Cambridge Water. The Nuisance flashcard deck covers interference, unreasonableness, damage and defenses.

Combine maps, flashcards and quizzes

A useful order is to begin with a mind map, then use flashcards to go over the questions and terms it introduces. For example, after studying a map that covers who can sue, use the Private Nuisance flashcards to consider who can be sued. The page includes several resources with the same title, so their format and contents can help you choose.

The Private Nuisance quiz offers a way to practice after studying a map or deck. The Public Nuisance quiz provides another starting point for practice on that part of the topic. You can return to the relevant maps or notes as you study.

Explore the wider selection

The page also lists notes and flashcards on public nuisance, as well as notes on private and public nuisance together. A mind map on reasonable use offers a more focused route through one aspect of private nuisance. These resources sit within Nuisance, one section of Tort Law: General Principles in Civil law.

Choose a map, deck or quiz that fits where you want to begin.
