Covering both the problems that local authorities face with enforcement as well as the complexities in advising defendants, Statutory Nuisance takes the user from the initial assessment of potential nuisance, steering them through the drafting process, varying attachment notices, preparing evidence, role of judicial review and potential costs awards.

Guiding you through each step, Statutory Nuisance takes you from initial assessment of a potential nuisance, through document drafting to the magistrates' court and beyond to the higher courts. Clear, readable and user friendly this book provides lucid explanation, practical guidance and the primary materials needed in court - all in one handy volume. Accessible to the layman, yet illuminating to the experienced practitioner, this title expresses a view on the issues not yet resolved by the courts.
