ABSTRACT

QUESTION 24 Sarah owns a house in a small village that she leases to May. May owns four dogs, which she keeps in kennels in the garden. The dogs spend large amounts of the day and night barking, and this annoys her neighbours, Terence and Ursula. Victor, another neighbour, finds the noise during the day particularly annoying, as he works nights and has to sleep during the day. All of the neighbours complain to May, who refuses to do anything. Consequently, Ursula lights a large bonfire in her garden in the hope that the smoke will stop the barking. Terence, whose hobby is woodworking, takes the television suppressor off his electric drill and uses it in the evenings to interfere deliberately with the reception on May’s television. w Discuss the legal situation.
