ABSTRACT
Hunter v Canary Wharf-decided at the end of the 20th century-represents the accepted legal
position. The facts will be familiar to many. In this case, local residents had complained that the
erection of the Canary Wharf tower in the London Docklands had interfered with their television
reception. The tower, now a London landmark, is nearly 250 metres in height and over 50 metres
square with a metallic surface (and is, indeed, visible from the Law School of Queen Mary itself).
