Coming to the nuisance - sustany/dvg GitHub Wiki

Coming to the nuisance refers to a legal doctrine which prevents a party from claiming nuisance if said nuisance was present, and the party knew of that nuisance before they acquired the property subject to the nuisance.�

Historically, coming to the nuisance functioned as a complete bar to a nuisance action. In jurisdictions which have adopted the 2nd restatement of Torts �840D, however, coming to the nuisance does not inherently bar an action for nuisance. In these jurisdictions, a court has discretion in determining whether/to what degree a plaintiff can recover based on the actions and relative fault of both parties.�

Coming to the nuisance is similar to the doctrine of assumption of the risk.�
