Summary

In this case, which dealt with the account to be taken of natural light received from other sources, the judge made some comments, which did not form part of the actual decision in the case, about the use of reflected light. He considered that reflected or diffused light coming into the premises, which was not connected with the defendant, should be taken into account in considering whether the light had been reduced beyond that sufficient for the comfortable use and enjoyment of the property.
