Use of Outdoor Wood Furnace Caused $40,000.00 in Nuisance Damage to Neighbouring Couple<\/strong><\/p>\n

Court accepted that the defendant\u2019s use of an outdoor wood furnace interfered with the plaintiff\u2019s enjoyment of their property, and assessed the damages at $20,000.00 for each couple.<\/p>\n

The interesting twist in this case arose as a result of the defendant\u2019s prior agreement to stop using the furnace as a means upon which to resolve a prior Small Claims Court claim, on consent.\u00a0 Because of that resolution, the court accepted that liability had already been admitted, and the plaintiffs only had to prove their damages.\u00a0 Put another way, the plaintiffs did not have to prove that the defendant\u2019s activity actually created a nuisance, which is “a substantial and unreasonable interference with the plaintiffs\u2019 use or enjoyment of their land.”<\/p>\n
