Property Litigation Watch

Editor's note

Daniel Levy, Partner, Head of Real Estate Disputes, Real Estate

Welcome to our latest edition of Property Litigation Watch.

In this issue, we spotlight the High Court's decision on the rights of light infringement caused by the Arbor Tower in the Bankside Yards regeneration scheme, where the court found an actionable interference but refused to grant an injunction, opting instead for negotiating damages, while reaffirming the use of the Waldram method for assessing light loss.

In our 'Speaker's Corner Q&A', Property Litigation Managing Associate Isabel Emerson-Lich hears from Fern Schofield of Falcon Chambers and our 'On the Horizon' piece considers some of the key reforms and landmark cases expected across the commercial and residential property spheres in 2025.

As always, we welcome your feedback and encourage you to reach out to any member of our Property Litigation team if you wish to discuss any of the topics further or have suggestions for future editions.
