The court dismissed the claim that irregular gaps in a building constitute a legal view easement. The plaintiff argued these openings restricted the neighbor's right to construct at the property boundary, but the court found no legal basis for such a servitude. Consequently, the neighbor retains the full right to build up to the limit of their own land.
