Miller v. Jackson [1977] QB 966

Tort Law Case

Cricket had been played on a village cricket ground since 1905.  In 1972 the plaintiff bought a house that had been built only 102 feet from the centre of the ground.  Over the coming years cricket balls would regularly land in the plaintiff’s garden occasionally damaging property.  The cricket club raised the fence level and offered to take other measures to stop any damage occurring but the plaintiff’s rejected the offers and raised a claim for damages.  They succeeded in getting an injunction stopping cricket from being played.  The club appealed successfully the court finding that it was not an appropriate case for an injunction due to the public interest.
