Is a right wrong?
Colby, Allyson
Is a right wrong? - 2005 - Estates Gazette (0537) 17 September 2005, 139-140(2) .
Examines the human rights implications of recent developments affecting easements permitting access to and from land. Statutory easements that are legitimately viewed as the preserve of public bodies and similar entities are becoming more widely available to private landowners. Sees the Access to Neighbouring Land Act 1992 and the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 as sources for potential new easements. Discusses the controversy over vehicular rights of way across common land and village greens. Considers how the Human Rights Act 1988 relates to these developments, in particular the law of adverse possession.
