QBD 25 November 1997. H and P served notice on D of intention to bring proceedings against them if necessary remedial works were not carried out within 21 days to rectify a statutory nuisance. D promptly replied to say that the works would take longer than 21 days. Shortly after the expiry of this period, H and P commenced proceedings. Their costs were disallowed on the grounds that they had failed to give D proper opportunity to complete the works, and had acted unreasonably in their action. H and P`s appeal was allowed, and judicial review on adjournment of the case granted.
