The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the neighbor's claim for compensation regarding property damage allegedly caused by construction noise. The plaintiff argued that the noise violated neighborly relations and environmental regulations, but the court found no direct causal link between the specific noise levels and the claimed structural damage. Consequently, the court ruled that the plaintiff failed to meet the burden of proof required to establish liability under the relevant neighborly relations and environmental permit laws.
