He also explores the application of the right to light, as per HKRUK II v Heaney [2010], where HKRUK had to remove two additional floors resulting in a significant reduction of value, and Ottercroft Limited v Scandia Care Limited & Another [2016] where the court awarded an injunction in relation to infringement of light by a re-built fire escape.
