Alabama Statutes

§ 6-5-120 — Defined

Alabama·Title 6 Civil Practice·Ch. 5 Actions·Art. 9 Nuisances·Div. 1 General Provisions
A “nuisance” is anything that works hurt, inconvenience, or damage to another. The fact that the act done may otherwise be lawful does not keep it from being a nuisance. The inconvenience complained of must not be fanciful or such as would affect only one of a fastidious taste, but it should be such as would affect an ordinary reasonable man.
