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.

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.
