“Under the Jamaican Constitution, persons are entitled to enjoy the quietude of their homes, without molestation”. This oft repeated comment, is deemed in most residential communities, as yet another hollow platitiude echoing in the halls of injustice, as persons continue to breach the Noise Abatement Act (1997) also colloquially referred to as the “Night Noises Act”, with impunity. However in most cases, the affected parties are not familiar with the actual tenets of the law and rely on anectdotal information, which would in large part. be suggestive of a notion that persons are entitled to disturb persons particularly on weekends, up until 2am. Not so! Therefore in furtherance of the series “Know the Law”, the Trafalgar Council has sought to reproduce the law as it has been printed, so that persons will be able to familiarize themselves with the actual provisions and demand effective policing of its tenets.
