Property developer successfully sued by neighbour for damages for trespass and nuisance caused by building works

Dawoodi v Zafrani 22/01/15 TCC List at Central London, HHJ Bailey

We acted for the claimant who successfully sued the defendant developer for damages in trespass and nuisance. The claimant’s garden subsided as a result of the negligence of the defendant’s contractors, who had demolished the adjacent house and excavated a basement for a new house without supporting the claimant’s land and had erected scaffolding on the claimant’s land without his consent.
