1. Adverse Possession
the central features of the 2002 Act is section 96, and schedule 6 are:
1. time does not run the limitation purposes in case of the registered land (except against
chargees). In other words, the passage of 10 years does not, of itself and without more, give rise
to possessory title.
2. rather, any claim to adverse possession remains imperfectly formed unless and until a
application is made to the HLMR after a minimum of 10 years possession under schedule 6One
inform ADV1 the one
3. if an application is made, crystallising and the cured claim, the registered proprietor recipients
cannot only oppose the case, (i.e., challenge the underlining assertion of 10 years adverse
possession) itself of course
4. If a counter notice is served the application will be automatically rejected unless the applicant
can meet only one of 3 special conditions in schedule 6 paragraph 5 of which the most common
is in paragraph 5 (4), the reasonable belief in ownership of the adjoining land which is applicable
in cases unconscious, rather than deliberate, adverse possession).
The LRA 2002 limits protection does not give a platform for the doctrine of adverse possession to
thrive, it suggests this can be challenged and to be taken seriously. It is ironic that the same at which
things to protect titles of land, whilst containing an explicit framework for squatters to operate
legally and legitimately.
Adverse possession requires interactions and factual possession of the land which is not yours without
the owner’s consent it is argued by many legal commentators that LRA 2002 is preventing having
ownership and simply sitting on their assets. By acquiring the land, it is sustained use of a valuable
means of promoting economic growth. Many commentators have used acquiring ownership merely as
land theft. the legislator has taken the opposite view and allowed adverse possession to remain a
possibility.
However, the sting in in this, is schedule 6 does give the owners of the land the ability to frustrate
any claims of the land by adverse possession. This can be achieved by focusing on the underlying
principles of the registration that confers a title.
But a fatal blow for the Landowner is in Paragraph 6 and 7. In adverse possession the person
seeking possession can have as many tries as he likes. The policy of the LRA 2002 to stop
proprietors from falling asleep on their rights and prevent possession and ownership be out of kilter
(points made in the law commission’s final report paragraphs 14 to 53 to 14/5 6, before the 2002 act
was introduced). This is also, suggested by the OU, 2021 that notice how schedule 6 defines the
remit of the registrar to actively give notice of any interest pertaining to the proprietor’s estate and
give the proprietor an opportunity to object to the registration of the adverse possessor.
It seems the LRA 2002 intended to tighten the grip on exclusion, in Paragraph 6 and 7 to be turned
into inclusion to ownership of a title. But does it in its entirety the LRA 2002 promotes social
