Adverse possession
Article Abstract:
A UK legal case involving adverse possession resulted in the dismissal of an appeal by a landlord. The appeal was made after the death of the husband of the defendant who had an oral tenancy on a house used as a second home. Rent was not paid from 1971, since it was not clear who should receive the rent. The tenant was entitled to stay in possession of the property and to pay rent during the period from 1971 to 1995 when the case was decided. The landlord was also entitled to demand rent arrears.
