No. 26 Mayor and City Council of Baltimore v. Theresa Abel, et al.
Issues – Torts – 1) Did ACM err when it held that, for the purposes of establishing private nuisance liability, the reasonableness of defendants’ use of defendants’ land is determined solely by the significance of the interference with plaintiffs’ right to use plaintiff’s land? 2) Did ACM err when it held that for the purposes of establishing private nuisance liability, the requirement of continuousness or recurrence of the things, facts, or acts, which constitute the nuisance was met under the circumstances of this case? 3) Did ACM err when it held that the evidence presented was sufficient to support private nuisance liability against the City for a single one-day sewer backup in the plaintiffs’ basement in 2019?
After February 6, 2026, the Court will recess until March 5, 2026.
On the day of argument, counsel must register in the Clerk’s Office no later than 8:30 a.m. unless otherwise notified.
