Subject: ODG: Can an isolated event be a nuisance?

Dear Colleagues:

I was wondering whether anyone: (1) knows of any helpful discussions (judicial or academic) surrounding whether a one-off or isolated event can be a nuisance; and/or (2) has any definitive view on the matter that they would be willing to share.  I am currently leaning to the view that a nuisance must be a state of affairs (the Stone v Bolton line) but I am interested in other's views as to why this would be incorrect.

Sincerely,
