About this product

Product Information

This timely new book provides starting points for 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 aspect of twenty-first century living that may spark neighbour rage. It draws together the relevant strands of the law - on negligence, nuisance, misrepresentation, trespass, rights of way, boundaries, party walls, the right to light, trees and hedges, weeds and pests, water, waste water and drainage. Written by solicitors with many years' experience of dealing with such disputes, it contains practical hints to hasten resolving difficulties, while recognising the desirability of restoring harmony between disputing parties. It provides an insight into some of the many powers of the local authorities - to deal with noise, for example - which may be invoked to bring to an end the behaviour complained of. The importance of seeking to settle a dispute without resorting to litigation is a theme running through the book, as is the ever-vexing question of costs. Neighbour Disputes: A Concise Guide to the Law and Practice will prove a helpful 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. The authors are both solicitors with the firm of Blake Lapthorn Linnell, and embarked upon this book following their firm's conduct of the case of McMeekin v Long - believed to be the first case on pre-contract misrepresentation in a conveyancing transaction. Donald Agnew, LL.M., has specialised in property litigation for over a decade. He is a legal chairman of rent assessment committees and leasehold valuation tribunals in the South of England. Amanda Morris, LL.B., has a particular penchant for boundary disputes. In the 2005 edition of Chambers UK: A Client's Guide to the Legal Profession , she is recommended as a leader in the field of real estate litigation, and described as efficient and effective .
