Quotation: “The plaintiffs, BP Properties Ltd, have the paper title to the farm, and indeed since November 1982 they have been the registered proprietors of it at HM Land Registry following first registration.” (Dillon LJ)
Proves: Appeal limited to farmhouse and garden; BP held paper title and was registered proprietor since November 1982; Mary’s title documents never produced; Limitation clock started February 1955; 1974 letters made her possession permissive; Dillon LJ noted, conditionally, that adverse possession would bind BP’s registration as an overriding interest.
Does not prove: Does not establish which propositions were decided versus assumed or background, or whether the 1939 plan or 1938 conveyance were shown to the court; Not a finding Mary established ownership; Establishes no judicial wrongdoing or fraud.
