Civil and criminal nuisance: What’s the difference? Which is the right one for me? Zoominar

Falcon Chambers is hosting five zoominars in our latest 'Property Pointers' series, covering various aspects of property law. These will be presented by junior counsel and aimed particularly at solicitors up to 5 years’ PQE, they would also be useful to surveyors and other professionals working in the property industry.

Each seminar will last for 45 minutes. There will be 15 minutes for questions at the end.

In this fourth instalment of the series Edward Blakeney and Kavish Shah will discuss vivil and criminal nuisance. Civil nuisance has been in the spotlight recently with a series of Supreme Court judgments. Criminal nuisance cases brought under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, which are prosecuted in the Magistrates' Courts, may be less familiar to practitioners. In this talk, Edward and Kavish recap the law on civil nuisance and its developments, and then consider how criminal nuisance differs from civil nuisance as well as the benefits and burdens of bringing such a case.
