Michael John Sellenriek v. Director
By Supreme Court of Missouri
- Release Date: 1992-02-25
- Genre: Law
Description
George Ward Builders, Inc., and Robert Allen (referred to collectively as "Ward Builders") appeal the dismissal of its two-count petition for nuisance and injunction against the City of Lees Summit. Specifically, Ward Builders alleged that the lighting system at a park located next to its properties creates an extreme level of light pollution that interferes with the use and enjoyment of its properties. In its sole point on appeal, Ward Builders claims that the trial court erred in dismissing its petition for failure to state a claim for relief because a municipality can be sued for a temporary nuisance under Missouri law.
