Abstract
The law relating to light is complex. This paper explains the law of light, how rights to light may be acquired, and how they may be defended. The particular positions of landlords, tenants, the Crown and the City of London are explained in the context of the law of light. In addition, the relevance of claims for injunctions and damages is also explained in this context.
