520 _aDescribes the case of SS Global and LPA Receivers of Delphis Bank v Sava. The defendant (S) claimed to have acquired most of a green belt of land in North London by adverse possession. He applied to the Land Registry for ownership. Their deputy adjudicator found for S. The appellant (G) appealed against that decision, arguing that the law was incorrectly applied. S had to prove that he had uninterrupted possession from a set date prior to his claim. Possession was defined as a sufficient degree of exclusive physical control of the land. He also needed to have demonstrated sufficient intention to possess. "Held": Upon appeal the High Court took an entirely different view of the evidence than the Land Registry adjudicator. The evidence of possession was unconvincing that S had demonstrated neither exclusive possession nor the intention to possess.
