Land Law
The Disputed Boundary
Context
Glenfield House and Meadow Cottage are adjacent registered properties. For 25 years, owners of Meadow Cottage have used a footpath across Glenfield House garden to access the local road. The path was used openly without permission — the Glenfield House owners were aware. The right has never been formally registered. The new owner of Glenfield House erects a fence blocking the path. The owner of Meadow Cottage claims an easement by prescription.
