A resident of Maidstone Borough in Kent, United Kingdom, has sued the nearby Cornwallis Academy for allegedly violating a 1990 law against noise nuisance. A local regulation bans the academy from whistleblowing at its football field after matches. The pitch is located 300 feet from the plaintiff’s home.
Previously, other residents complained that the school failed to enforce the whistle ban and that the noise disturbed their sleep.
The school denied the allegation during the first court hearing of the case last May. The next hearing is scheduled for October.
