continuing trespass

Read a random definition: Residuary bequest

A quick definition of continuing trespass:

Continuing trespass refers to repeatedly infringing on someone else's rights, particularly by trespassing on their land or property without stopping. For example, if someone knocked down a tree onto their neighbor's property and refused to remove it, they would be continuously trespassing. This type of trespass can be difficult to determine and may require legal action to remove the object causing the harm. Unlike regular trespass, which has a time limit for legal action, continuing trespass can continue indefinitely until it stops. It can also involve multiple occurrences, which may be treated as one case in court.

A more thorough explanation:

Continuing trespass refers to a repeated violation of someone else's rights. It can apply to any type of infringement, but it is most commonly used to describe situations where someone repeatedly enters or uses another person's property without permission.

For example, if someone cuts down a tree on their property and it falls onto their neighbor's land, they are committing a continuing trespass if they refuse to remove the tree. Similarly, if someone builds a structure that encroaches on their neighbor's property and refuses to take it down, they are also committing a continuing trespass.

Continuing trespass is different from a one-time trespass because it involves ongoing harm to the other person's property rights. It can be difficult to determine when a continuing trespass is occurring, especially if the harm is intermittent or sporadic. However, if the harm is ongoing, the injured party may seek an injunction to stop the trespass and remove the offending object.

Unlike a one-time trespass, which is subject to a statute of limitations, a continuing trespass does not have a time limit. This is because the harm is ongoing and has not yet stopped. Additionally, a continuing trespass may involve multiple instances of harm, which can complicate legal proceedings.

For example, if someone installs a drain on their property that causes their neighbor's garden to flood every time it rains, the neighbor may have a claim for multiple instances of harm. However, some jurisdictions may treat these instances as a single case, while others may require separate claims for each instance of harm.

Overall, continuing trespass is a serious violation of property rights that can have significant legal consequences. It is important for property owners to be aware of their rights and take action to protect their property from ongoing harm.
