Haycocks and another v. Neville and another
Language: English Series: Estates Gazette ; (0704) 27 January 2007Publication details: 2007Subject(s): Summary: [2007] 04 EG 186 (CS), 18 January 2007. The appellants and the respondents were the registered owners of adjoining properties on a housing development. The respondents had purchased their property from the developer following completion of the development in 1992, while the appellants had purchased their house from the original owner. A dispute arose over the boundary between the properties, centering on the precise location of a "piovot point" where the line of the boundary turned at an angle. "Held": As the plans on the registered title were of little use, being imprecise as to the boundaries and on too small a scale to be helpful, the judge in the original case had also taken additional evidence into account including what the parties had done and features placed on the ground. Despite the fact that the original judge had not taken into account the method for boundary determination of either the appellants or the respondents, it was found that this was an acceptable way to make the necessary decision. The appeal was dismissed.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
