Dispute between two adjoining land-owners
This is the latest stage in a long running dispute between two adjoining land-owners over
an area of land (“the disputed land”) amounting to a little less than an acre in area, to
which the claimant, Mr Ali, holds the paper title.
The defendants, Mr and Mrs Lane, own the property known as “Greenacres”, immediately to the south. The judge was concerned with an adverse possession claim by the Lanes over the disputed land. This claim failed and permission to appeal was refused. There remains an issue about the precise boundary of the disputed land where it abuts Greenacres (“the disputed boundary”).
