Ravi's neighbour wrongly built a wall that blocks the only light to Ravi's workshop. Ravi wants a court order directing the neighbour to stop the continuing interference. Which remedy in tort does Ravi seek?
Ravi seeks an injunction, a judicial remedy in which the court orders the wrongdoer to stop a continuing or threatened wrong. It suits ongoing interference such as a nuisance, where money damages alone would not end the harm to the plaintiff.
- AInjunctionCorrect
- BSelf-help by abatement of the wall by a stranger
- CNominal damages only
- DContemptuous damages
Explanation
An injunction is a court order that restrains a wrongdoer from continuing or repeating a wrong, or directs an act to be done. Since Ravi wants the continuing interference stopped, damages alone would not serve him. Nominal or contemptuous damages only mark a legal right without real compensation.
