[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The neighbors need to get together and litigate. [/quote] Litigation has been discussed amongst neighbors. Cost is definitely a factor. I think at this moment, everyone is hoping the work stoppage leads to the structure needing to be torn down.[/quote] Costs like having to pay legal fees for the defendant when they ultimately prevail...[/quote] That's not the way it works. The legal theory would be one of private nuisance. The neighbors might prevail in front of a jury; it's difficult to imagine most people having any sympathy for the defendant in this case, and plenty for the plaintiffs. [/quote] You can't bring a case based on aesthetics, nor can you assert a right to sunlight. It would never get anywhere close to a jury.[/quote]
