	This article is the beginning of research on Justinian’s Digest, concentrating on Volume 8 – On Servitude. Particular attention has been paid to regulations that comply with building regulations (in today’s sense), and in particular, those one that relate to the access of buildings to light. The Romans identified 19 lightning-related records, dividing them into servants for urban and rural land, and mostly they were civil regulations. In Poland we have paragraphs 12, 13, 60 WT, which talk about sunlight and the termination, they are obligatory for urban and rural development (principles for urban development function as an exception to the general rule). The article has compared the ancient records with the current Polish regulations, attention is drawn to the similarities and differences between them.
