Cited. 46 CA 164. Uselessness prong of six-factor test in Whitlock v. Uhle, 75 C. 423, focuses on whether structure serves an actual use, not whether defendants can merely assert a purpose for erecting the structure. 185 CA 119.

Sec. 52-481. Abatement of manufacturer's nuisance. Temporary injunction. (a) If any manufacturer carries on his business, or exposes the material used therein, or refuse produced thereby, so as to constitute a nuisance to the public or to individuals, any persons aggrieved thereby may unite in a complaint to the superior court for the judicial district where the nuisance exists, for the discontinuance or abatement of the nuisance, making the manufacturer, if known to them, the defendant. If the manufacturer is not known, they may make the person in charge of the premises the defendant. Service on the person in charge shall be sufficient notice to any defendant living out of this state.
(b) Each complaint shall be heard at the first session of the court or promptly thereafter unless continued for cause. A continuance may be granted upon such conditions and with such provision for temporary relief as the court orders.
(c) If, after hearing, the court is of the opinion that the plaintiffs are entitled to relief, it may make such order for the discontinuance or abatement of the nuisance, or for regulating the manner of conducting the business, as it finds to be necessary. If it appears that any such order is ineffectual to abate the nuisance or if it appears that the order is disobeyed or evaded, the court, upon such notice as it directs, may make such further order and provision for the enforcement of the original order or decree as may be deemed necessary.
(d) The Superior Court, or any judge thereof when the court is not in session, may, upon complaint, issue a temporary injunction against the continuance of any such nuisance until a final hearing may be had. If it is impracticable to stay the continuance of a nuisance by a temporary injunction or if the injunction is disobeyed or evaded, the court or judge may make and enforce such temporary order for the discontinuance of the nuisance until a final hearing, as may be deemed necessary.
(e) At least twenty-four hours' notice in writing of the time and place of making such a motion for temporary injunction shall be given to the defendants or some of them, if they are known and can be found in this state, and, if not, shall be left with the person in charge of the premises, if such person can be found.

History: 1967 act substituted “when the court is not sitting” for “in vacation”; P.A. 78-280 substituted “judicial district” for “county”; P.A. 82-160 rephrased the section and inserted Subsec. indicators.

What constitutes a nuisance of this character. 21 C. 218; 33 C. 121; 39 C. 426, 493; 100 C. 667. Petition must aver that petitioner is aggrieved. 39 C. 427. Effect upon complainant's family material question. 71 C. 647. No injunction against production of castor oil where court found no substantial violation of plaintiff's rights and use of defendant's plant was not unreasonable. 130 C. 485. History discussed; section does not give an exclusive remedy to the Superior Court in an action of nuisance; a statute creating a new remedy for an existing right does not preclude the use of existing common law remedies. 153 C. 661.
Statute is codification of existing law; it indirectly recognizes the doctrine of balancing conveniences. 11 CS 93. Persons of ordinary health and sensitiveness are to be considered in the determination of the existence of a nuisance. 22 CS 381.

Sec. 52-483. Injunction against sale on execution; adjournment of sale. When any temporary injunction is granted to restrain a sale on execution or tax warrant, the injunction order may direct the levying officer to adjourn the sale in such manner and for such time as the order may prescribe. If no such direction is given, such officer nevertheless may adjourn the sale, from time to time, while the injunction remains in force; and, while such sale is so adjourned, the lien created by the levy shall remain in force.
