There are two kinds of easement known to the law: positive easements, such as a right of way, which give the owner of land a right himself to do something on or to his neighbour's land: and negative easements, such as a right of light, which gives him a right to stop his neighbour doing something on his (the neighbour's) own land.

The right to light is not a natural right of property but is a negative easement that has to be acquired. The right can only relate to apertures in buildings and can only be acquired by means that have a legal recognition. The right is an advantage to the dominant tenement and a burden to the servient tenement. (Anger and Honsberger, 2nd, p. 959)  1, record 1, English, - right%20of%20light
