the risk of harm.

第五款 抗辯

第840B條 與有過失

告與有過失,得做與其他依過失而提起

被告不得以原告之與有過失作為抗辯。

致者,僅於原告自願且無正當理由而使

自己受該傷害之危險,被告方得以原告

In an action for a nuisance the plaintiff's assumption of risk is a

defense to the same extent as in other tort actions.

第840C條 危險之承擔

與惱神思之訴訟,就原告之危險承擔,被告

得有如其他侵權行為訴訟,作相同程度之抗

辯。

§ 840D. Coming To The Nuisance

The fact that the plaintiff has acquired or improved his land after a

nuisance interfering with it has come into existence is not in itself

sufficient to bar his action, but it is a factor to be considered in

determining whether the nuisance is actionable.

第840D條 惱神思存在後之取得或改良

土地

干擾其土地之使用、享受之惱神思,係於原

告取得或改進該土地之前已存在者,並非足

以阻礙原告提起惱神思之訴訟;但為決定該

惱神思是否得提起訴訟之考慮原因。

§ 840E. Others Contributing To The Nuisance

Except as it may affect the character of the locality, the fact that other

第840E條 參與致惱神思之其他人

除可能影響土地之區域特性外,他人之參與

persons contribute to a nuisance is not a bar to the defendant's liability

for his own contribution.

而致惱神思者,並不因而阻礙被告就其自身

所致惱神思之責任。
