Neighbour Disputes: A Concise Guide to the Law and
Practice (2nd edition)
about the book
 |
Neighbour Disputes: A Concise Guide to the
Law and Practice (2nd edition) is a practical guide
to those seeking to resolve disputes between neighbours who are at
war with each other – whether it be about noise, overhanging
branches, the position of a fence, or some other irritant that has
sparked neighbour rage.
It draws together the relevant strands of the
law - on negligence,
nuisance, misrepresentation, trespass, rights of way,
boundaries, party wall, the right to light, trees and hedges, weeds
and pests, waste water and drainage and provides an insight
into some of the many powers of the local authorities which may be
invoked to bring to an end the behaviour complained of. The
importance of seeking to settle a dispute without having to resort
to litigation is a theme running through the book, as is the
ever-vexing question of costs.

The book is co- written by Amanda
Morris, Property Litigation partner here at Blake
Lapthorn and Donald Agnew, a
former partner of the firm. Both authors have many years’
experience of dealing with such disputes and the book contains their practical hints to hasten
resolving difficulties, while recognising the desirability of
restoring harmony between the disputing parties.
who should read it
Neighbour Disputes: A Concise Guide to the Law and
Practice (2nd edition) proves a valuable first port
of call for busy lawyers, as well as a useful reference for
officers of local authorities, mediators and the many others who
may be called upon to help solve a dispute between neighbours. It
is also hoped that it is sufficiently readable and jargon-free to
enable the interested non-lawyer to derive some benefit from
it.
