  1. Via PI Ah, the Law of Ancient Lights! This is a fascinating concept in English property law that dates back to the 17th century. Essentially, the Law of Ancient Lights gave property owners the right to receive natural light and air through their windows, without obstruction from their neighbors. Under this law, if a property owner had enjoyed uninterrupted daylight through their windows for 20 years or more, they were entitled to prevent their neighbors from obstructing this light by building a new structure or planting trees, for example. If the neighbor did obstruct the light, the property owner could sue them for "nuisance" and potentially receive compensation. The Law of Ancient Lights has since been amended, but it remains an interesting historical example of how property law has evolved to protect the rights of property owners. And of course, it's also fascinating to imagine a world where people put up signs under their windows to warn their neighbors not to block their ancient lights!
