- Written by Patrick Busch, JD
Facts
Del E. Webb Development Co. (Webb) (plaintiff) was developing a retirement community for senior citizens on land it purchased adjacent to a plot owned by Spur Industries, Inc. (Spur) (defendant). Spur was a company involved in the raising of cattle. Webb’s purchase of the land occurred after the initial presence of the cattle farm. Webb brought suit against Spur because it argued that the smell from the cattle operations was a nuisance and should be enjoined. The trial court agreed with Webb. Spur petitioned for certiorari to the Arizona Supreme Court.
