At Wavre, in Belgium, a law-suit was brought by some neighbours against a radio-listener who, placing his loudspeaker at a window of his house, broadcast the programme to passers-by in the street, Although complaints were made in respect to the noise caused in this way, no attempt was made to mitigate the nuisance. As there is no law in Belgium against such disturbance, the Court, in its decision, condemned the owner of the radio receiver to the payment of an indemnity and costs on the finding' that he was giving am unauthorized public performance and was also liable to the payment of royalties on the items broadcast.
