Question 2

Nuisance. Portland General Electric Co maintained a turbine facility. Nearby residents complained that the facility emitted low-frequency sound waves that caused them to suffer loss of sleep, emotional distress, and mental strain. Consequently, these residents sued the compa-ny, claiming that it was creating a nuisance. The defendant contended that the plaintiffs had suffered no special harm. The district court dismissed the plaintiffs' complaint, and the plaintiffs appealed the decision. Should the appellate court affirm the dismissal? Explain.

Answer to Question 2

Nuisance
The appellate court reversed the lower court's dismissal and permitted the plaintiffs to pursue their case. The appellate court held that the plaintiffs' use of their property had been hampered. Consequently, the plaintiffs were permitted to try their case and recover damages should they prove that the harms of the turbine generator exceeded its benefits.
