What is the test for unreasonable use of land?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Goryn v. Huntington 1900 Bayview Inc., 2019 ONSC 2881 (CanLII):
The defendants’ case law shows that the tort is potentially available to those whose use and enjoyment of private land is being interfered with by the unreasonable use of another’s land: French v. Chrysler, at para. 20, citing Halsbury’s Laws of Canada – Torts (2012 Reissue). This is the essence of the plaintiff’s complaint.
