Ulpianus explains the difference between the servitudes of not obstructing light and not obstructing prospect, and discusses the prohibition of light-obstructing activities and the notification of a new work.
[ULPIANUS libro uicensimo nono ad Sabinum.]
[ULPIANUS in the twenty-ninth book On Sabinus.]
Inter seruitutes ne luminibus officiatur1 et ne prospectui offendatur aliud et aliud obseruatur: quod2 in prospectu plus quis habet, ne quid ei officiatur ad gratiorem prospectum et liberum, in luminibus autem, non officere3 ne lumina cuiusquam obscuriora fiant. quodcumque igitur faciat ad luminis impedimentum, prohiberi potest, si seruitus debeatur, opusque ei nouum nuntiari potest, si modo sic faciat, ut lumini noceat.
Between the servitudes “that light be not obstructed” and “that prospect be not obstructed,” different rules are observed: for in the case of prospect, a person has more, namely, that nothing obstruct his more pleasant and free prospect; whereas in the case of light, the rule is not to obstruct so that anyone’s light becomes dimmer. Therefore, whatever acts to obstruct light can be prohibited, if the servitude is owed, and a notification of a new work can be served upon it, provided that it is done in such a way as to harm the light.
