Foreword
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.
Additional text
The authors of ‘Statutory Nuisance’ should be heartily congratulated for writing such a formidable (the book runs to almost 800 pages including index), well-researched book, which deserves a place on the bookshelves, especially of those who have a practical interest in this area of law. While the book is mainly for the English practitioner, the book will also prove useful to a Scottish readership.
