The plaintiffs were trustees of a church. The defendant built an electricity sub station next door. The plaintiffs sought an injunction, saying that the humming sound emitted could be heard in the church.
Held: The special requirements for quiet required in a church did not impose any higher standard from neighbours as regards the special use made of land. The plaintiffs had not established that the noise was a sufficient interference to support an injunction.
