The parties owned adjacent units in a shared building.
The Shamesses' units fell into severe disrepair, prompting the Town to issue property standards violation notices.
When neither the Shamesses nor the Foleys repaired the building, the Town declared it unsafe and eventually demolished the entire structure.
The Foleys sued for negligence and nuisance.
The trial judge found the Town, the Shamesses, and the Foleys all partially liable.
On appeal, the Court of Appeal allowed the Town's appeal, finding it had no duty to undertake a partial demolition.
The Court dismissed the Shamesses' appeal, holding they owed a duty to their co-owners to act reasonably and breached it by failing to repair their units.
Liability was reapportioned between the Shamesses and the Foleys.
