Easements: decisions and implications

Easement problems are amongst the most difficult legal issues to resolve. The relevant law can be complicated and arcane – and often difficult to apply with any degree of certainty. To add to the uncertainty, it is clear from recent decisions that amongst other issues proving abandonment of an easement is tricky and that the impact of the “registration gap” is real.

This webinar will look at:

• Abandonment and restrictive covenants
• The “dangers” arising from Land Registry backlog
• Extending an easement to adjoining land; the concept of “ancillary use”
• Intensifying the use of an easement
• Encroachment on right of way
• Limits of right of way
