Overview

The law of statutory nuisance deals with acts of local pollution - such as noise, odours, and the state of premises - which are unhealthy or a nuisance. It covers the law and procedure involved when statutory nuisances are investigated and dealt with by local authority environmental health officers and the court proceedings which may follow. It also covers the procedure when a private person or community group takes action on their own account against the ‘nuisance offender'.
