Murphy v Murphy

A son of the landowner (his mother) used her land for farming and this was
sufficient to show intention. His mother was actually unaware that she
owned the land but this was irrelevant and the son successfully
extinguished her rights to the land.The general test for intention is to ask
whether the adverse possession was inconsistent with and in denial of the
owner's rights to the land.




Tempany v Hynes

, Equity looks on that as done which ought to have been done. The Supreme
Court held that when a contract for sale has been signed, the Vendor
becomes a trustee of the beneficial interest in the property to the extent
that the purchase money has been paid. Accordingly, the Supreme Court
held that until the whole of the purchase money is paid the Vendor has a
beneficial interest in the land which may be charged by a Judgment
Mortgage.
