Title:

CONTROL OF ENCROACHMENTS THROUGH THE COMMON LAW THEORY OF NUISANCES

Accession Number:

00238834

Record Type:

Component

Abstract:

A NUMBER OF PRECEDENTS IS ADDUCED FOR THE ASSERTION THAT THE RECOGNIZED ATTRIBUTES OF A PUBLIC NUISANCE ARE VERY BROAD IN DEFINITION AND EXTENSIVE IN BACKGROUND WITH RESPECT TO BOTH ACTUAL AND POTENTIAL ENCROACHMENTS ON THE PASSAGE OF THE TRAVELING PUBLIC. THE TERMS "ENCROACHMENT" AND"OBSTRUCTION" ARE DISTINGUISHED. AMONG THE POTENTIAL NUISANCES DISCUSSED ARE CROWDS, VENDORS EMPLOYING THE RIGHT OF WAY, POTENTIAL DANGERS (BILLBORARDS, SIGNS, PILED LOGS, ROTTING STRUCTURES, TREE LIMBS), DISTRACTIONS (INCLUDING NOISES AND ODORS), AND COMPETING PUBLIC WORKS.
