| Decision notes | [2019] UKFTT 159 PC. Application for rectification under Schedule 4 to note the benefit of a right of way against the Applicant's title. The Applicant relied on a will and an assent to establish the grant of the right of way. The will was clear in granting the right, the assent much less so, but there was an ambiguity in what it did grant. I considered that I could construe the assent in the context of the will and therefore resolved the ambiguity in favour of the Applicant. The Respondents were in possession of the adjacent land, were not accused of fraud or lack of proper care and objected - whether unjust not to make the alteration. It would have been, there was no discernible loss to the Respondent, but as the Respondents pointed out, it was a valuable and convenient route for the Applicant. HELD therefore that the right of way be registered. |
