This Chapter grants the right to civil action to: (a) any person whose property is injuriously affected, or whose personal enjoyment is lessened by a nuisance, as the same is defined in 20 GCA; (b) the Attorney General in the name of the government of Guam to abate a public nuisance as the same is defined in 20 GCA; (c) any person aggrieved by the waste caused by a guardian, tenant for life or years, joint tenant, or tenant in common of real property; (d) an owner of a land against any person who cuts down or carries off any wood or underwood, tree, or timber, or girdles or otherwise injures any tree or timber on the land. Recovery of more than the just value of the timber taken from uncultivated woodland for the repair of a public highway or bridge upon the land, or adjoining it, is justified. In some cases compensation for damages are defined.
