Judge dismisses couple's claim over Brighton car park beeping

ca.news.yahoo.com

A couple's £180,000 compensation claim for psychiatric injury, caused by a car park intercom's beeping, was dismissed by a judge. The couple, Zhengfang Huang and Jingjing Chen, argued the intercom noise from a nearby car park severely impacted their mental health. The judge ruled they should have anticipated noise in their Brighton flat's location and lacked sufficient evidence. The couple had previously complained to the council, which addressed some issues. While the compensation claim was rejected, the case may continue in a lower court regarding other aspects.
