editHmm. This looks to be a hoax or some sort of legal advertising? I'm confused. Shanew2 21:32, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
- did you read any of the 7 references and links provided? sigh.... --Mcginnly | Natter 22:12, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
- Might not be a hoax, I stand corrected. I guess I'm too dense to understand this article. Shanew2 18:27, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
Not sure why some should consider this article to be too technical or difficult to understand. It has extensive internal links to other Wikipedia pages which define all technical terms used as well as linking to external summary articles to prevent the need to study the subject in-depth. Some subjects just take some effort on the part of the reader and rights to light is one of them. However, this is about as good an introduction to the subject as the layman is likely to find anywhere. PercyWaldram 15:23, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- It does sound very confusing at first... In English Law a right to light is a form of easement. It will usually come into existence under the Prescription Act 1832, by prescription, after 20 years' uninterrupted use of daylight. Rights to light are therefore sometimes described as ancient lights. It is also possible for a right to light to exist if granted expressly by deed, or granted impliedly, for example under the rule in Wheeldon v. Burrows.
- The article ancient lights was written in a much easier to understand way.

Why isn't this page called Ancient Lights?
editIt calls the principle "Ancient Lights" throughout, and it doesn't show that the principle has been renamed. Marnanel (talk) 12:28, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
