Histories of the Common Law of Property are available. An example of property misuse would be if I undertook digging a swimming pool on my land and it caused the land to collapse and destroy your house. Another real case would be my uncle. A neighbor was erecting an apartment on his land, a legal activity, but the contractor for some reason dug under my uncle’s house foundation by about twenty feet creating a danger that my uncle’s house would collapse. The neighbor was forced to hire a contractor to fix the problem and in addition pay my uncle $60,000.
Thank you for your replies. I didn’t think you were attacking me at all; I just have limitations due to lack of education and not having read about the topics at hand in a deep or scholarly way.
