The book surveys conflicting judicial decisions rooted in common law and statutory interpretation and evaluates the competing arguments for and against the expansion of public nuisance law. Mullenix argues that the development of public nuisance theory is part of the historical arc of mass tort litigation and suggests a middle approach to new public nuisance law, namely, that we should embrace the common law and legislated public nuisance statutes"-- $c Page [i]. 650 0 $a Public nuisance $z United States. 650 0 $a Torts $z United States. 650 6 $a Nuisances publiques $z Etats-Unis. 650 6 $a Responsabilite civile $z Etats-Unis. 650 7 $a Public nuisance $2 fast 650 7 $a Torts $2 fast 651 7 $a United States $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619011552.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=52E253482E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
