Paying the price for loss of light

Pawlowski, Mark

Paying the price for loss of light - 2008 - Solicitors' Journal Property Supplement .

Article discusses how damages are assessed in right to light cases, with specific reference to Forsyth-Grant v Allen (L143263). Points brought up include the fact that damages for injury to a right to light is not limited to compensation for loss of light and amenity; that the court can award a share of developer's profit derived from the infringement to a claimant and that this is not the same as an account of profits in equity entitling the claimant to the entirety of the profit earned by a wrongdoer based on a claim in restitution. Illustrates the underlying basis of an injury to right to light as a nuisance claim only.
