What are the causes of action for trespass, nuisance and violation of the rule in Rylands v Fletcher v Fletcher?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Hide-Away Resort Ltd. v. Van Der Wal, 1999 CanLII 5646 (BC SC):
The plaintiff seeks damages for trespass, nuisance and violation of the rule in Rylands v. Fletcher. As is apparent from these causes of action, the plaintiff's claim addresses two different but related matters: the fact of the trespass of landfill wood-waste material onto the Hide-Away property and the existence of a landfill on the neighbouring property. One important aspect of the plaintiff's claim is the risk of fire and methane migration.
