Compensation is a complex area and is equally complex for your legal representative. For them to achieve a maximum payout they need you to have followed a specific set of guidelines.

The first involves any wrongful disturbance of an easement or other right in respect of land. The second, by far the most common, involves the act of wrongfully causing or allowing the escape of injurious things onto another person’s land such as, for example, water, smoke, smells, fumes, gas, noise, heat, electricity, vibrations, animals and vegetation.
