Discusses of the Law of Property Act 1925 s62. On the 'conveyance' of unregistered land informal arrangements for the use of neighbouring land can be transformed into a legal easement. In the case of the transfer of registered land, the Land Registration Rule 251 has the same effect. Considers situations in which s62 can apply. Describes "Wright v McAdam" in which a tenant (A) had previously enjoyed the informal permission of the landlord to use a garden shed. When the latter granted a new tenancy to the tenant of larger premises a dispute arose over continued use of the shed by A. The judge held that in the granting of the new tenancy permission to use the shed was transformed into a full legal easement. Looks at the limitations of s62 and discusses some recent case law.
