CA 31 March 1999. The plaintiffs (L) brought an action against the council for damages for failing to curb the activities of travellers who had camped on council land close to L's farm. L claimed that the travellers had obstructed access to their land, stolen timber and fences, damaged crops, and acted belligerently towards them and their families. The judge struck out the claim on the basis that the traveller's activities fell outside the scope of the tort of nuisance and that there was no misuse of the council's land so as to cause damage to L's land. L appealed. Appeal allowed. The owner occupier of land could be liable in nuisance for the unlawful activities of persons based on his land which took place off his land where such nuisance consisted of repeated acts committed on the victim's land, to the owner occupier's knowledge, and which interfered with the victim's use and enjoyment of his land.
