| Neighbor Law: Fences, Trees, Boundaries and Noise by NOLO From zoning and nuisance scenarios to starting a petition | | From handling water issues and overhanging trees to problems with neighboring businesses and vague boundary lines, professional attorney Cora Jordan's Neighbor Law provides an updated edition of a classic title which outlines neighbor rights and responsibilities, from zoning and nuisance scenarios to starting a petition. Excellent, practical advice. | | Neighbor Law: Fences, Trees, Boundaries and Noise by NOLO Neighborhood Law Development since 1932 | Neighborhood law and principle as such can be traced since the decision of the House of Lords in Donoghue v Stevenson (1932).In the present book by Cora jordan though civil remedies of Law of Torts can be precisely located but precise evolutionary meaning of Neighborhood law has been meticulously concealed by the Author.
Lord Atkin defined not only neighbor in the terms of law but he also traced the evolutionary meaning and relevance of this term. It can be located that the meaning, rights and duties of a neighbor are well settled since then i.e,1932.
The present book could have been more elegantly presented had the Author kept in view the new dimensions of rights and duties.
Though it can not be said that the neighborhood law is an archaic concept but a textbook like the present one by Cora Jordan requires enumeration of twentyfirst century rights, duties and consequential remedies. Even today, it can be noted that many of the rights have not required the shape of the so called enforceable rights, whereby a remedy could be sought by a neighbor.In such circumstances the age old maxim "ubi jus ibi remedium" still becomes relevant. Apart from these inconsistencies this book is worth reading. The remedies discussed in the book are all relevant and more so this book can be used as a generalised tort book. The effort of the Author is commendable. | | Neighbor Law: Fences, Trees, Boundaries and Noise by NOLO Great book | | Nolo Press covers law for the rest of us. Easy to read, covers topics that are relevant, clearly makes its points. Possibly best for readers in California. Odds are, a book from Nolo Press is worth buying. This is no exception. | | Neighbor Law: Fences, Trees, Boundaries and Noise by NOLO The Book Every Homeowner Should Own | | Excellent informative book covering topics that every homeowner will eventually have to deal with. A must have! | | Neighbor Law: Fences, Trees, Boundaries and Noise by NOLO WHO DID THE PROOF READING!!!!!! | | YOU MAKE REFERENCE TO FICK v. NELSON (1950) THERE IS NO SUCH CASE. WHO DID YOUR PROOF READING? THERE IS A FICK v. NILSON (1950). HOW FRUSTRATING DO YOU THINK A PERSON WOULD GET LOOKING FOR A CASE THAT DOESN'T EXIST? | | Neighbor Law: Fences, Trees, Boundaries and Noise by NOLO Book Description | | Is a neighboring business driving you crazy? Too much noise from next door? Run-off from up the hill threatening to drown your yard? Learn your rights and responsibilities with Neighbor Law, Nolo’s clear-cut, comprehensive guide to the laws concerning common neighbor disputes. The popular bestseller covers: * fences * trees * boundaries * blocked views * noise * water issues * neighborhood businesses * and more In plain English, Neighbor Law explains how to find the law in each circumstance and resolve disputes outside the court -- but if you must go to small claims court, this popular book gives you the information you need. The 4th editon provides a new chapter on neighborhood businesses as well as new Internet resources. | | Neighbor Law: Fences, Trees, Boundaries and Noise by NOLO Amazon.com | | The world is full of barking dogs and trespassing trees, spite fences and 2 a.m. rock fests, but your neighbor's lack of consideration needn't be your lifelong headache. The Nolo Press guide to Neighbor Law, eruditely and accessibly written by attorney Cora Jordan, explains all the laws relevant to noise, obstructed views, and invading branches and roots, boundary lines, fences, and attractions that might be dangerous to children (such as an open swimming pool), otherwise known as "attractive nuisances." But it's not enough to merely know the legal facts. Jordan also delves into how to research local laws, how to approach the offending neighbor, and how, if it comes to this, to explore mediation or the final justice of the small-claims court. In today's world, it takes more than a good fence to make a good neighbor; thoughtfulness and tact would be nice, but as they are often in short supply, knowledge of the law is a necessary first step toward solving your neighborly disputes. --Stephanie Gold |
