Hunter v Canary Wharf (1997)
Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:37 2006
[1997] AC 655 (HL). A resident of London docklands
bought an action in nuisance against the developers of the Canary Wharf
tower. The nuisances complained of included, among other things, deposits
of building dust over the local properties, and intereference with
television reception. The HouseOfLords held that dust deposits could
amount to a nuisance, if damage was proved, but interference with television
was not an interference with resisdents' property rights. The House also
suggested, contrary to the CourtOfAppeal's ruling in KhorasandjanVBush1993,
that only people with a proprietary interest in land had title to sue
in nuisance.
