Why was there no liability in Read v Lyons?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There was no liability in Read v Lyons because there hadn't been an escape. The case involved a discussion of the doctrine of dikes, which held that a landowner was not liable for damage caused by a natural or inevitable flow of water onto their neighbor's property. The court found that there had been no actual escape of water onto the plaintiff's land, therefore the defendant was not liable. The other choices (A and B) are not applicable to this case as they deal with different elements of the law of nuisance.
