Court in UK agrees with race track rights!

I have been reading in another thread about people moving into houses near a race track and trying to get them closed down, we have the same problem in England.

Today a judge ruled against a family who moved to within 800 yards of a race track and tried to get it closed. He said the track was there first and had all correct permits, so he dismissed their action.

I hope tracks in the USA have the same outcome if they are under threat from people who move into an area where a race track has been established for many years.

The best is that with the UK's "loser pays" court system, they will have to pay all court costs.

Common sense in a court? Who knew!?

Its called "coming to the nuisance", which generally bars such a claim unless the nuisance is such that is causing health problems, which is probably not the case with a racetrack that only is a bother once a week.
