I own a 5.3 acre unimproved lot served by a 40' wide private road. I am the dominent tenament. The Nieghbor has been blocking the access, telling prospective buyers the lot is unbuildable and more. He has assaulted me twice now while trying to use my access. This last time I was ready to have him arrested but he apologized and began negotiations to repair the situation. I want to be kind BUT. I am owner and real estate agent in San Diego California. My question:
This nieghbor has caused economic harm. I carry this lot and feel he has caused me at least 3 months carry and who knows in the softening of the market. How successful are cases of "intentional infliction of economic harm" and "slander"?
Then, how successful when coupled with assault?
Thank you for your advise.
