Seth Owns a Large Plot of Land on Which He

question 15

True/False

Seth owns a large plot of land on which he plants pear trees. These pears are his sole income and have earned him a reputation as a premier grower. His neighbour owns two horses which constantly break through the fence separating the two properties and maraud Seth's pear trees, costing him lost profits, decreasing production and causing general damage to the orchard. Seth would have valid grounds for a claim of nuisance.
