2019 US Virgin Islands Code
Title 28 - Property
Chapter 15 - Actions for Nuisance, Waste, and Trespass
§ 331. Private nuisance; damages; warrant to abate; injunction
Universal Citation: V.I. Code tit. 28, § 331 (2019)
Any person whose property is affected by a private nuisance, or whose personal enjoyment thereof is in like manner thereby affected, may maintain an action for damages therefor. If judgment is given for the plaintiff in such action, he may, in addition to the execution to enforce the same, on motion, have an order allowing a warrant to issue to the marshal to abate such nuisance. Such motion shall be made at the term at which judgment is given, and shall be allowed of course, unless it appears on the hearing that the nuisance has ceased, or that such remedy is inadequate to abate or prevent the continuance of the nuisance in which latter case the plaintiff may proceed to have the defendant enjoined.
