Decision notes |
Adverse possession. Application under schedule 6 of the Land Registration Act 2002. Failure clearly to require in form NAP that the matter is dealt with under paragraph 5 of that schedule precludes the paper owner from seeking to rely on paragraph 5 thereafter. Applicants went into possession of land adjoining their home, which they owned. They then sold their home and took a leaseback as tenants. Held, applying London Borough of Tower Hamlets v Barrett, [2006] 1 P&CR 9, that the applicants’ occupation was thereafter as an accretion to their tenancy, and that if anybody was entitled to apply to be registered with a possessory freehold title, it was the applicants’ landlord. |
