A significant element of the defendants’ anticipated appeal to the jury was based on the premise that the City of Kansas City, by issuing a permit for the construction and operation of the parking lot, had given official sanction to the activity and therefore it could not be a nuisance. To support this argument, the defendants cross-examined the plaintiffs and their witnesses basing inquiry on the assumed fact of the parking lot special permit. Appellants complain that evidence regarding the permit and the inference that it constituted a defense was irrelevant and prejudicial and should not have been received.
