Publication Day! It has been fantastic working with @EmilyWalsh3 on this new book for @OUPLaw, that focuses on how the principles of land law apply in practice.

[Dr Derek Whayman @WhaymanDR]

Adverse possession of registered land - boundary disputes - the 10 year period of reasonable belief can be during any 10 years of possession, not necessarily the last 10 years - Zarb v Parry incorrect on this point.

In September 1996, I started my training contract at Biddle & Co, working under David Hooper. He acted for Vanity Fair, which was being sued for libel by Fayed. This explains what I have known about since then, and why the case never went to court. https://t.co/KT5VrPDUTZ
