campaign of harassment against him and then-wife Jennifer Aniston after they started a $1 million renovation. “Theroux has established as a matter of law that various aspects of Norman Resnicow’s behavior toward him constitute a private nuisance — an intentional, unreasonable, interference with Theroux’s use and enjoyment of his apartment,” Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Gerald Lebovitz ruled.Theroux, 52, claimed in his suit that Resnicow, 76, had trespassed on his property, peeped into his windows, harassed workers and killed the ivy that grew on their shared roof terrace.Lebovitz previously found Resnicow liable for trespassing on Theroux’s side of the roof deck space.The judge rejected Resnicow’s request for the case not to be decided by a jury — saying Theroux was entitled to have jurors hear the case and that there were open questions for the panel to decide, according to the Monday ruling.In particular, jurors will be tasked with determining the damages to be awarded to the “Mulholland Drive” actor — who the judge said could also seek punitive damages at trial.Theroux — who split from the “Friends” actress in 2018 — is seeking at least $4.58 million in damages at trial.The next court date and a trial date have not been set yet.“The judge left many issues of facts for a jury to resolve and, therefore, we will need a jury trial to resolve them,” Resnicow’s lawyer Peter Levine told The Post Thursday.Levine said he doesn’t know if the case will settle ahead of trial, but noted that prior negotiations had broken down.
