(1) Dawn Karina May (2) Richard Andrew Jurga v (1) Anthony James Iles (2) Deborah Louise Iles (Boundary dispute : Inferences to be drawn from surrounding circumstances) [2018] UKFTT 575 (PC) (31 August 2018)
[2018] UKFTT 575 (PC). Determined Boundary application re two unconnected stretches of boundary -“ Area 1 and Area 2 - between the parties-™ titles. Re Area 1, whether the line of an old wooden fence to the east of a line of beech trees, or the line of a barbed wire fence to the east of the beech trees was the true boundary -“ whether fence a replacement for the previous barbed wire boundary fence, said to have been moved as part of a binding oral boundary agreement -“ photographic evidence that the OS field boundary at the date of the relevant conveyance (1940) was a substantial hedge - oral evidence that hedge dug up and replaced along the same line by what was now the line of beech trees -whether, since the parcel was described in the 1940 conveyance by reference to the OS field boundary, the line of trees represented the boundary (Fisher v Winch) - held that the Area 1 boundary followed the centre line of the trees, (b) the barbed wire fences were stock fences and not boundary fences, and (c) there was no boundary agreement. Re Area 2, a possessory title, obtained by Respondent-™s predecessor in title in 2004, evidence from original possessor identifying the extent of the land which he had adversely possessed -“ up to a particular gate post. Gatepost no longer existed but expert evidence established its position by other means -“ whether this the true boundary or the line of a mesh fence erected by Applicant in 2009. Held that the Area 2 boundary extended to a point where the gate post had previously stood. The mesh fence had been erected to prevent Applicant-™s dog from escaping and not as a boundary marker.
