Nuisance
Nuisance [fr. nuire, Fr., to hurt], something noxious of offensive. Any unauthorised act which, without direct physical interference, materially impairs the use and enjoyment by another of his property, or prejudicially affects his health, comfort, or convenience, is a nuisance.Nuisance may be distinguished from negligence in that nuisance is an act or omission causing injury, the injury itself giving rise to an action for damages, while a person suffering from damage due to negligence must prove that the damage was caused by some want of care, according to its degree which was required in the particular circumstances of the case. Actions against persons or public undertakings for damage under statutory powers are generally founded on negligence.

Libel
Libel [fr. libellus, Lat.; libelle, Fr.]. False defamatory words, if written and published, constitute a libel: Odgers on libel, p. 1. 'Everything printed or written, which reflects on the character of another, and is published without lawful justification or excuse, is a libel whatever the intention may have been', O'Brien v. Clement, (1846) 15 M & W 435, per Parke, B. A statement in a talking film is a libel and not merely a slander, Yossopoff v. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Picture Corporation, 78 Sol Jo 617. As to publication by dictation, etc., to a typist, see Osborn v. Boulter & Son, (1930) 2 KB 226.

Same and similar
Same and similar, although the word same is frequently used in the sense of similar, the word similar never means 'same', AIR 1956 Punj 49 (55). (Partnership Act, 1932, s. 54)The two words 'same' and 'similar' connote different concepts and therefore the carrying of a similar business will not meet the requirements of the section. If one business cannot be conveniently carried on after the closure of the other, there would be a strong indication that the two businesses constituted the 'same business' but, no decisive inference could be drawn from the fact that after the closure of one business another may conveniently be carried on. The real test would be: was there any inter-connection, any interlacing, any inter-dependence, any unity at all embracing those two businesses. Such inter-connection, inter-relation, inter-dependence and unity exist when there is common management, common business organisation, common administration, common fund and a common place of business, B.R. Limited ...
