  • 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.

  • A Brief Guide to English Land Law Land Law Is Concerned with The
    A Brief Guide to English Land Law Land Law is concerned with the legal relationships that people have with regard to land and affects each one of us in many ways in the course of our daily lives. Matters such as the basis upon which we reside in our own homes, access to our place of education or employment and even a visit to the shops or to the home of a friend can all raise issues directly related to land law. There are three main areas to be considered, having first established an answer to the question "What is 'land'?" Firstly, what are the various types of interest that can be acquired in land and by what means may one acquire these interests? Secondly, once acquired, how may these interests be retained and protected? Lastly, how may interests such as these be effectively transferred? Land Law provides us with the legal framework within which to determine these issues. Whether Roman practices with regard to land transactions survived in Northern Europe is a controversial question. It has recently been argued that charters from as far north as modern Belgium from the seventh to the ninth centuries show traces of Roman conveyancing practices. In the case of England, however, we can be reasonably confident that all knowledge of Roman conveyancing practices was lost in the centuries that followed the Anglo-Saxon invasions (fifth and sixth centuries). When the Anglo-Saxons began to book land transactions in the seventh century, that practice represented a new beginning, although it may have been a beginning that was influenced by surviving Roman practices on the Continent.

Eunan O’Halpin from the School of History outlines some of the events hosted by Trinity in the years leading up to 2016 that sought to look beyond the confines of the Rising and to place it in a broader historical context. Jane Ohlmeyer, director of the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute (TLRH), traces elements of this broader historical context in her analysis of how the Rising impacted on the British Empire, paying particular attention to how it was received in India, and notes the current day issues surrounding the fate of Northern Ireland in the wake of the recent Brexit vote.

  • Routes to Qualification As a Jersey Solicitor Or Advocate
    April 2016 (4th edn) ROUTES TO QUALIFICATION AS A JERSEY SOLICITOR OR JERSEY ADVOCATE If you aspire to qualify as a lawyer in Jersey, the steps set out below are a guide to how to achieve this. By ‘qualify’ we mean become an advocate or solicitor of the Royal Court of Jersey. It is important to remember that many people work in a variety of roles in Jersey law offices without formally qualifying as a Jersey advocate or solicitor. There are two kinds of qualified Jersey lawyers, regulated by the Advocates and Solicitors (Jersey) Law 1997. Jersey advocates have rights of audience before the Magistrate’s Court, the Royal Court and the Jersey Court of Appeal whereas Jersey solicitors do not (though they may represent clients in the Petty Debts Court and appear in summonses before the Greffier, the Master and the Registrars of the Family Division). Apart from this, there is little difference between the two branches of the legal profession: both take the same Jersey law exams; both may become partners in law firms; and both often do similar kinds of work for clients on a day-to-day basis. A person who qualifies as a Jersey solicitor is eligible to become a Jersey advocate after practising for three years without the need to take any further examinations. These notes have been prepared by the Institute of Law for general information; detailed questions about particular matters (e.g. whether your law degree is recognised as satisfying the academic stage) should be addressed to the Deputy Bailiff’s Office.
