Permitted level of interference in neighborhood relations from the point of view of Roman and modern law
2020
Abstract
Few can become your arch enemy as easily as your neighbour. Annoying noise, smoke, dust and odours coming from the neighbouring property were a subject of legal disputes in ancient Rome and the situation remains unchanged.
The paper focuses on legal regulation of im-misions and on the question of the extent to which interference with the proprietor of a neighbouring tract of land by immisions is permissible. It presents a number of theories that abstract from case-based sources of Roman law and formulate general rules.
