  • boundaries
  • party walls
  • access to neighbouring land
  • easements
  • covenants
  • adverse possession
  • trespass
  • nuisance
  • injunctions
  • planning permission
  • anti-social behaviour
  • the conduct of litigation and alternative dispute resolution
  • the court's approach to neighbour disputes

Reviews

"Until one reads Kevin Kennedy's excellent book, most practitioners would not realise quite now many situations involve neighbourly relations. It is a useful addition to the contentious property lawyer's library, and I am certainly not letting my copy go until I have dealth with that thorny problem down on the farm."
