Neighbours and the Law 5th ed

This fifth edition of Neighbours and the Law draws together a wide-ranging and complex body of law into a one-stop reference source on neighbour disputes.

It explains the possible causes of action and remedies available to parties involved in a dispute, and gives guidance on procedures for obtaining redress against private individuals, as well as against public authorities who fail to comply with their regulatory duties.
