Leases, Tenancies and Licences
Licences
Traditionally, licences are 'merely personal obligations, and not an interest in the land' and as such
will not be binding on a third party such as a new purchaser (King v David Allen [1916])
If a right is only a mere licence, this prevents the occupiers of the land from being sued in trespass
but does not create and interest in the land that might protect them
