Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This work provides a definitive account of the subject for those working in the field (legal practitioners and environmental health professionals), and also practical guidance on putting the law into practice. Both authors have run training courses on this subject for a number of years, and they incorporate the checklists, precedents, etc that they have developed for those courses into the book. The law of statutory nuisance deals with acts of local pollution - such as noise,
odours, and the state of premises - which are unhealthy or a nuisance. It covers the law and procedure involved when statutory nuisances are investigated and dealt with by local authority environmental health officers and the court proceedings which may follow. It also covers the procedure when a
private person or community group takes action on their own account against the 'nuisance offender'.
Long description:
This is an essential text for practitioners at all levels in the legal and environmental health professions as well as for those working for community groups and consumer organisations. It is equally indispensable for private individuals who wish to challenge local authority decisions or to commence their own proceedings in the magistrates' courts against the 'nuisance offender'.
The law of statutory nuisance was first formulated in the middle of the nineteenth century, yet it continues to raise all sorts of difficulties for practitioners, lawyers and the courts. This book considers the origins of statutory nuisance, analyses its conceptual basis, and considers each of the statutory nuisances set out and incorporated into the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Particular emphasis is given to the most problematic statutory nuisances, such as noise nuisance and those
arising within residential premises.
This is an authoritative book, which takes the reader through the practical and legal issues associated with each statutory nuisance and focuses on the problems the local authorities face in enforcing this area of law as well as for those advising defendants. The role, powers and duties of the local authorities, the problems associated with the drafting of abatement notices and with the prosecution of nuisances are analysed. Also covered are defences and proceedings brought by private
individuals against neighbours and local authority landlords.
The focus is also on what happens in court. The procedure and requirements in appeals against notices and in prosecutions are considered in detail, as are the grounds for bringing further appeals and judicial review. Important recent decisions of the Court of Appeal and House of Lords, such as Falmouth & Truro PHA, ex p South-West Water, Baxter v Camden and Oakley v Birmingham, are analysed. The implications of recent legislation such as the Human Rights Act 1998 and
the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 are also considered.
