Adverse Possession & Boundaries - Examining the Topical Issues

Introduction

The interrelationship between adverse possession and boundaries is well known, and can still cause problems even though the Land Registration Act 2002 aimed to restrict the possibility of claiming adverse possession of registered land. Cases on adverse possession are still coming before the courts on a regular basis and pieces of land are still being transferred into new ownership under the Act.

This webinar will examine the topical issues before the courts, under both the 2002 Act and the Limitation Act 1980, and the interrelationship between adverse possession and the law as to boundaries.

• The Court of Appeal affirms the continuing importance of the ‘general boundaries’ rule: Clapham v Narga
