Subject: Nuisance Case

Dear Jason,

I do not know of any cases involving nuisance by those protesting against the defendant - but cases on nuisance by uninvited and unwanted but anticipated third parties include

R v Moore (1832) 3 B & Ad 184 (crowds gathering to shoot at stray pigeons escaping from D's shooting area)
Walker v Brewster (1867) LR 5 Eq 25 (part of nuisance caused by idle and dissolute persons excluded from D's entertainments)
Bellamy v Webb (1890) 60 LJ Ch 156 (nuisance by crowds of uninvited and unwanted hanging around outside boxing venue)

Perhaps a useful source of analogies?

Best wishes

Roderick

Dear Colleagues:

Has anybody ever come across a nuisance case where the alleged nuisance was not something emanating from the defendant's land but rather the noise/conduct of third parties who were protesting against the use of the defendant's land (such as animal rights activists and a testing facility)?
