520 _aGives details of cases that have dealt with claims against neighbouring landowners arising out of damage from natural causes. Notes that the courts' findings in these cases indicate that a landowner can be held responsible for dangers arising naturally on his land. In addition, liability for creating a nuisance depends on how forseeable the damage was. Considers in detail the latest decision in this area by CA in "Bybrook Barn Centre Ltd v Kent County Council".
