Squatters' rights
Fetherstonhaugh, G.
Squatters' rights - 2004 - Estates Gazette (0437) 11 September 2004, 138-139(2) .
Reviews the current legal position in relation to squatters' rights. Refers to case law to illustrate how title can be acquired under the 12 years adverse possession route pursuant to the Limitation Act 1980 s15 and Sched 1 paras 1 and 8. Argues that "Perry v New Islington and Hackney Housing Association" (Unreported), which held that no right of action could arise because the continuation tenancy was not terminable by notice to quit, offers hope for landlords faced with adverse possession claims.
