The UK's Land Registration Act 2002 came into force in October 2003 and changed the registration provisions in respect of rights of way. A private right of way is a form of easement and these are enjoyed by the owner of a legal estate in land over other land owned by a different person. There are various different types of easement, including boundary rights, rights of support, rights of access for repairs, and rights of light. In regards to rights of way, problems occur when: someone blocks or restricts the right of way * trying to decide who pays for maintenance of the right of way * the owner of the servient tenement wants to change the route of the right of way * either the dominant or servient tenement is transferred and the transferee raises enquiries concerning the right of way This practical guide provides clear and comprehensive information ensuring that any problems arising from a private right of way in the UK can be handled quickly and efficiently.

Rights of light are a distinctive and complex branch of the law of easements. In any proposed development, it is vital that investigations are made to ensure that owners do not have rights which may prevent building as planned - the alternative is to face the possibility of injunction proceedings or a claim for damages. It is, therefore, essential that practitioners have a clear grasp of the UK legal principles and their practical application when acting for clients claiming or resisting the establishment of such a right. This new edition of the popular work Rights of Light has been significantly re-written and provides practical and up-to-date explanation of UK law and practice including the impact of the Land Registration Act 2002 and recent case-law such as Midtown Ltd v City of London Real Property. It also contains a comprehensive review of the acquisition and establishment of rights and proceedings for infringement, an expert commentary on measurement and valuation techniques provided by chartered surveyor, and includes a new chapter dealing with the High Hedges legislation.
