f The Law wnd You 1 Q. A neighbour of ours is a barbecue freak. Every day last sumrner hie was out in the back yard with biis grill. When it rained, hie set it up on the back porch. 1 suppose it's his property and lie can do whiat hie wants with it, but since we live downwind of hirn and more often than flot ail that smnoke ends up in our house, this is uricomifortable and ma-be dangerous. Is there anything that we cani do? A. The general rule in our law is that a man can use his property as hie wishes, but flot in a way that interfères ';vth other peoples' right to enjoy their property. 1If you could convince a judge that the use of the barbecue was excessive and constant, you might succeed in an action for nuisance. You could recover damages, or' get an injuniction to prevent your neighbour's exces- sive use of his barbecue. Q. What do you have to do to get Legal Aid? Also, what if you don't like the lawyer who is appointed for you? A. You must apply at the local office of the Ontario Legal Aid Plan. They will take, your application and you will be contacted by an' assessment officer, who will determine whether your financial circumstances warrant your getting a legal aid certificate. You may be refused legal aid, or given partial help towards lawyers ýees, or the plan may decide to, cover the whole expense. If you *own a house, but have little cash or are in debt, the plan may file a lien on your property and the legal expenses may be paid ouIt o the plan whien the biouse is sold. Legal aid does flot appoint a lawyer. If you get a certificate, you can take it to any lawyer. Equally, any lawyer is free to accept il or reject it. Q. Uast week I took mny car into the garage for somte minor repairs. When I went to colleet it, I discovered that the bill was muiich more thanI could afford righ t then. The owner of the garage refused to let mie take my car away until 1 paid my bill in full. fie said hie had a right through a mnechaies lien to hold rny car until I paid up. Is lie right? A. He's substantially righit. The mi fromi the garage is correct in that you miay nul take possession of' your car until you've paid in full. Huwever, bis righit to hiold your car arises flot froni a miechianics lien but fromi an artisans 'lien. An artisans lien attaches to any object which a tradesmianhlas donc vurk on.
