abate lawsuit

Abatement is generally the temporary or permanent halting of a process (a lawsuit) or a situation (a nuisance).

In New Hampshire, abatement refers to the legal process of suspending or stopping a lawsuit or a nuisance. When it comes to lawsuits, abatement can occur if there is a reason that the case cannot proceed, such as the death of a party, a lack of jurisdiction, or the existence of another case between the same parties for the same cause. In terms of nuisances, abatement involves the cessation or removal of a nuisance, which could be anything that interferes with the use and enjoyment of property, such as noise, pollution, or illegal activity. New Hampshire law allows for the abatement of nuisances through court orders, and in some cases, individuals may be permitted to take direct action to abate a nuisance under certain conditions. It's important to note that the specific procedures and remedies for abatement can vary depending on the circumstances and the nature of the nuisance or lawsuit.
