Litigation is costly. Settle out of court if possible. Suing requires "deep pockets and nerves of steel." Winning may get you a costs order, but it's not guaranteed. You risk paying both sides' legal fees if you lose. Even with a win, recovering costs can be difficult. Three cost categories exist: Party & Party (taxed, limited), Attorney & Client (broader), and Attorney & Own Client (your agreed rate, not recoverable).

Resolve disputes through negotiation, understanding your legal rights first. Mediation and arbitration are helpful alternatives before resorting to legal action. Nuisance law balances property rights with "live and let live," considering factors like noise, trees, and other interferences.

Published on: 04/03/2025

Running a business from a property zoned for residential use is illegal, even with supportive neighbors or pending rezoning applications. A recent court case confirmed this, emphasizing that restrictive title conditions and zoning laws must be adhered to. The court rejected arguments about changing neighborhood character, pending rezoning, or lack of nuisance. Only legally compliant businesses are protected, highlighting the importance of proper rezoning and adherence to regulations. Ignoring these rules risks legal action and immediate closure.
