question 7

Essay

Peter has been subjected to an unreasonable amount of noise from his neighbor, who constantly plays his stereo at full volume.

Do the acts of Peter's neighbor and the factory constitute nuisances? If they do, give Peter assistance on any possible courses of action to eliminate the problems.
