Introduction What Is Land? Introduction What is Land? - LPA 1925, s 205: ‘Land’ includes land of any tenure, and mines and minerals…’ land includes not just tangible physical property, but also intangible rights in the land, such as the right to walk across a neighbours driveway. - Land is the physical asset and the rights the owner and others enjoy over it. ‘The idea of property in land’ – Kevin Gray and Susan Francis Gray - The idea of property is fragile, elusive and misused - Property is not a thing but a relationship - Property is the word used to describe particular concentrations of power over things. Statutory Formalities: LPA 1925: - Provided a redefinition of what rights could be legal or equitable - Says a lot about joint ownership, creation of proprietary interests, nature of fee simples and leaseholds LPA 1925, s1: - Legal Estates and Equitable Interests - (1) The only estates in land which are capable of subsisting or of being conveyed or created at law are— . (a) An estate in fee simple absolute in possession; . (b) A term of years absolute. (2) The only interests or charges in or over land which are capable of subsisting or of being conveyed or created at law are— . (a) An easement, right, or privilege in or over land for an interest equivalent to an estate in fee simple absolute in possession or a term of years absolute; . (b) A rentcharge in possession issuing out of or charged on land being either perpetual or for a term of years absolute; . (c) A charge by way of legal mortgage; . (d). (e) Rights of entry exercisable over or in respect of a legal term of years absolute, or annexed, for any purpose, to a legal rentcharge. (3) All other estates, interests, and charges in or over land take effect as equitable interests. LPA 1925, s2: - Conveyances to be by deed - (1) All conveyances of land or of any interest therein are void for the purpose of conveying or creating a legal estate unless made by deed. (2) This section does not apply to— (a) assents by a personal representative; (b) disclaimers made in accordance with [sections 178 to 180 or sections 315 to 319 of the Insolvency Act 1986], or not required to be evidenced in writing; (c) surrenders by operation of law, including surrenders which may, by law, be effected without writing; (d) leases or tenancies or other assurances not required by law to be made in writing; (e) receipts [other than those falling within section 115 below]; (f) vesting orders of the court or other competent authority; (g) conveyances taking effect by operation of law. 1 LPA 1925, s53: - instruments required to be in writing - (1) Subject to the provision hereinafter contained with respect to the creation of interests in land by parol— (a) no interest in land can be created or disposed of except by writing signed by the person creating or conveying the same, or by his agent thereunto lawfully authorised in writing, or by will, or by operation of law; (b) a declaration of trust respecting any land or any interest therein must be manifested and proved by some writing signed by some person who is able to declare such trust or by his will; (c) a disposition of an equitable interest or trust subsisting at the time of the disposition, must be in writing signed by the person disposing of the same, or by his agent thereunto lawfully authorised in writing or by will. - (2) This section does not affect the creation or operation of resulting, implied or constructive trusts. Law of Property (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1989, s 2: - an instument shall not be a deed unless - (a) it makes it clear on its face that it is intended to be a deed by the person making it or, as the case may be, by the parties to it (whether by describing itself as a deed or expressing itself to be executed or signed as a deed or otherwise); and (b) it is validly executed as a deed by that person or, as the case may be, one or more of those parties. Settled Land Act 1925: - designed to regulate the creation and operation of successive interests in land The Land Registration Act 1925/2002 - creates a system whereby title to land estates and other rights are recorded - records the land, who owns it, what type of right Land Charges Act 1972: - establishes a system to regulate transfer of land - designed to bring certainty to dealings - deals with unregistered land which is proved by deeds and documentation. Types of Proprietary right: - Estates in Land: an estate confers a right to control and use land. When people say they own land they mean they hold ‘the fee simple absolute in possession’. A fee simple/freehold is the righ to use and enjoy the land for the duration of the life of the grantee and that of his heirs and successors. - Leasehold estate: right to use and enjoy land for a stated period of time. - Fee tail: an interest in another persons land. An interest permitting its owner the use of land for the duration of their lifetime and theur lineal descendants. - The life interest: gives the holder the right to enjoy the land for the duration of their lifetime. On death the life interest comes to an end and the land reverts to the superior estate owner. Legal or equitable properietary rights. - Legal rights: provided a property right falls within s1 of the LPA it will be legal if it is created with the proper formality; it must origionate in a deed. - Equtiable rights: a right may be equitable if: 1. it is excluded form the definition of a legal estate or interest found in the LPA. Such rights can only ever be legal as they cannot be equitable. 2 2. despite falling within s1 no deed may have been used where such is required, 3. despite being within s1 and the use of a deed registration may not have ocurred where required. - A right will be equitable is it is created by a written contract or instrument within s2 LPA 1989 or s53 LPA 1925. - The proposed system of electtronic conveyancing will make the distinction between legal and equitable rights largely redundant. The right must be enetered electronically or it won’t exist at all. Ø Consequence of the distinction between legal and equitable: - The effect of the right on a third party depends on whether it is legal or equitable. - The distinction is becoming less important, the Land registration Act 1925 means that it is more about the interpretation of the statute than the nature of the right these days. - Pre 1925: o Legal properietary rights bound every person who owned land over which the right existed o Equitable properietary rights bound every transferee of the land ecept a bona fide purchaser for value without notice. Distinction between registered and unregistered land: - Registered land is governed by the LPA 1925, Common Law and LRA 2002 - Unregistered land is governed by LPA 1925, Common Law and LCA 1972 - Unregistered land is dissapearing as it is all becoming regstered. Registered: - Title is registered in a register - Titles are given a number and the details of the owner are registered - Owenership is guarenteed by the state if the owner is registered - It means that when buying you know that the title has been fully investigated and approved. - ‘registered charge’ – legal mortgage which is registered. - ‘unregistered interests which override’ – overriding interests which are automatically binding on any transferee or occupier without the need for any registration - ‘protectable registered interest’ – will only bind a purchaser if they are registered against the title they affect. Registered by notice. Unregistered: - land to which the title is not registered - title is located in deeds instead - ‘legal rights bind the whole world’ - equitable rights in unregistered land fall into 3 categories: 1. most are land charges under LCA 1972. Must be registeered against the owner of the land over which they take affect in order to bind purchaser. 2. A number of equitable rights that aren’t land charges can’t be registered under the LCA 1972 and their effectiveness is decided by the old doctrine of notice 3. Rights not under the LCA and not under doctrine of notice are overreachable rights – they are equitable rights of a special nature as they are capable of easy quantification in money. May be overeached and so not binding on a new purchaser 3 Concepts in Land Law – Public Law aspects: - Human rights should not be infringed by claims of economic rights. - Penalver and Katyal: argue it is good to break the law regarding property. Greensborough Protests led – break of property law that led to the Civil Rights Movement. Digital Pirates make for better intellectual property law. squatters demonstrate a criminal under use of property. - Public law interests mould land law. Article 1 of the First Protocol, European Convention on Human Rights: - ‘Every natural or legal person is entitled to the peaceful enjoyment of his possessions. No one shall be deprived of his possessions except in the public interest and subject to the conditions provided for by law and by the general principles of international law. The preceding provisions shall not, however, in any way impair the right of a State to enforce such laws as it deems necessary to control the use of property in accordance with the general interest or to secure the payment of taxes or other contributions or penalties.’ - Companies have the same rights as individuals. Not a right to property but rather a rigts to peaceful enjoyment of possessions.

  • 7 - Interests in Land - Easements
    7 - INTERESTS IN LAND - EASEMENTS Definition An easement confers the right to use the land of another in some way, or to prevent it being used in a certain way. Examples are a right of way and a right of light. A legal easement is not merely a right in personam but in rem; it permanently binds the land over which it is exercisable and permanently avails the land which it benefits. Characteristics of an Easement The following 4 essential must be present in order for an easement to exist Re Ellenborough Park [1956] Ch 131: - there must be a dominant and servient tenement; i.e. one plot of land must have the benefit of the right and another plot must have the burden, it cannot exist independently of the ownership of land, an easement must be appurtenant (attached) to a dominant tenement and will pass on a transfer of the land - S.187 LPA 1925. - the right must accommodate the dominant land i.e. it must be of benefit to the land and not for example a personal right granted to its owner Hill v Tupper(1863) 2 H&C 121 - the dominant and servient tenements must not be both owned and occupied by the same person, note quasi-easements under Wheeldon v Burrows [1879] 12 Ch D 31; London v Blenheim Estates Ltd v Ladbroke Retail Parks Ltd (1993) - the right claimed must be capable of forming the subject matter of a grant i.e. of being granted by deed and therefore (i) There must be both a capable grantor and grantee.

  • Easements Across Seven Jurisdictions Within Property
    www.theblackletter.co.uk!1 www.theblackletter.co.ukNeil Egan-Ronayne www.theblackletter.co.ukDecember 2015 Property Law Implied Easements Gerry has been in possession of a registered fee simple estate or ‘freehold’ estate since September 1990. Barton (Construction) Ltd were the registered owners of the unadopted service road that runs along the rear of Gerry’s property up until March 2015 whereupon Barton (Construction) Ltd sold the road to Hyde Ltd as part of a land package. Hyde Ltd has since established a business operation that uses the service road for access. As part of that process they have also erected a lockable gate across the public highway end of the road that is only accessible by using keys held by their employees. Gerry has for a continuous period used the service road in order to park his car and by assumption it is understood that Gerry does not park on the service road itself rather he uses it only as a means of access. When considering Gerry’s position in relation to his denial of access to the service road it would be prudent to refer to the common law position on easements.1 For an easement to be legally considered there are a number of criteria first established in Re Ellenborough Park2 which when met permit such a justification: I. A dominant tenement3 and a servient tenement burdened by the easement must be shown to exist. II. The easement must benefit the dominant tenement. III. The dominant and servient tenements must fall under different ownership.4 IV.

Deriving from a complex patchwork of law and policy, developments have ensued in the absence of a distinct governing ‘legal regime’ and within a number of competing paradigms. This original synthesis attempts to identify lacunae, conflicts and connections within and between the span of legal genres that MRE evokes.

It is the rights we have against other people recognised by our legal system in relation to a thing we claim to own. Land law is concerned with the relationship people have with land and the state of that land.

    Michaelmas Term [2018] UKSC 57 On appeals from: [2017] EWCA Civ 238 and [2015] EWHC 3564 (Ch) JUDGMENT Regency Villas Title Ltd and others (Respondents/Cross-Appellants) v Diamond Resorts (Europe) Ltd and others (Appellants/Cross- Respondents) before Lady Hale, President Lord Kerr Lord Sumption Lord Carnwath Lord Briggs JUDGMENT GIVEN ON 14 November 2018 Heard on 4 and 5 July 2018 Appellants/Cross Respondents/Cross- Respondents Appellants Tim Morshead QC John Randall QC Toby Watkin Marc Brown Andrew Latimer Katie Longstaff (Instructed by Pannone (Instructed by Shakespeare Corporate LLP Martineau LLP (Manchester) and Osborne (Birmingham)) Clarke LLP) Appellants/Cross Respondents:- (1) Diamond Resorts (Europe) Limited (2) Diamond Resorts Broome Park Golf Limited (3) Summit Developments Ltd Respondents/Cross Appellants:- (1) Regency Villas Title Limited (2) George Edwards (3) Victor Roberts (4) The Estate of William Malcolm Ratcliffe Deceased (5) Brian Andrews LORD BRIGGS: (with whom Lady Hale, Lord Kerr and Lord Sumption agree) 1. This appeal offers an opportunity for this court to consider, for the first time, the extent to which the right to the free use of sporting and recreational facilities provided in a country club environment may be conferred upon the owners and occupiers of an adjacent timeshare complex by the use of freehold easements. In the well-known leading case of In re Ellenborough Park [1956] Ch 131 the Court of Appeal decided that the shared recreational use of a communal private garden could be conferred upon the owners of townhouses built around and near it by means of easements. The use of the same conveyancing technique in the present case in relation to a much wider range of activities was, if not misguided, at least a more ambitious undertaking.
