Decision notes | [2019] UKFTT 155 (PC). Easement - row of terraced houses - respondents' house at end of row - passage leading from the street to the rear of the Respondents' house underneath the first floor of the house - passage leading to a further passage giving access to the rear of adjoining houses in the terrace - issues as to whether the one of the neighbours has the burden of an express easement through a 1948 grant, alternatively one arising under section 62 Law of Property Act 1925, alternatively by prescription. HELD no express grant in 1948, but the then existing quasi-easements ripened into legal easements under the predecessor to s.62 when the titles were first divided in about 1898. So the application was given effect to. |
