Immediately adjacent

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 67.200.212.42 (talk) at 13:40, 9 February 2017 ("protest of 20 per cent" Changed to "protest of 20 percent"). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Immediately adjacent, in legal usage, generally means "adjoining or abutting, rather than in the vicinity". See, e.g., Parsons v Wethersfield, 135 Conn 24, 60 A2d 771, 4 ALR2d 330 - This definition of the term was given in a statutory provision requiring a unanimous vote of the commission on a question of rezoning property over the protest of 20 percent of the owners of lots "immediately adjacent".
