Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Minerva had given Prudence permission to park her farm tractor on her land for only one month. However, Prudence exceeded the agreed-upon time limit of one month and refused to move the tractor even after being reminded by Minerva. This amounts to trespassing as Prudence no longer had permission to keep her tractor on Minerva's land.

Furthermore, the continued presence of the tractor may also be considered a nuisance as it impedes on Minerva's use and enjoyment of her own land. The nuisance may arise due to the noise, pollution, and inconvenience caused by the tractor being parked on Minerva's land for a prolonged period of time.

In this scenario, negligence is not relevant as there is no element of harm or injury involved.
