1) How successful was the Land Registration Act 2002 in addressing perceived defects in the law relating to the adverse possession of registered land? 2) Dot owns a two-bedroom house in Woodley near West End College. She decides to help her son, Phil, out of his current financial difficulties by letting him use the house to raise income. She gives him a ten-year licence of the house. Phil advertises the house on the notice board in the College bookshop. Lauren and Ian, who are about to start the second year of their fashion degree, sign identical ‘licence’ agreements to occupy the house. The agreement, which is stated to be for ‘two years or until the completion of your degree programme’, contains the following provisions:a) Half of the total monthly licence fee of £2,000 is payable on the first day of each month;b) Phil’s son, Mick, may use the sofa bed in the lounge to stay overnight whenever he has to work late in the City;c) Phil is to retain a set of keys to the house;d) Phil will arrange for clean towels and bed linen to be delivered to the house once a week.Phil does not realise that Lauren and Ian are a couple and assumes that they will occupy different bedrooms. In fact, they share the same room. Before signing the agreement, Lauren asks Phil how often Mick is likely to need to use the sofa bed and why he (Phil) needs to retain a set of keys. Phil says that on the rare occasions that Mick would need to stay, he would always ask Lauren and Ian first. He also explains that he is retaining a set of keys for the house just in case there is some domestic emergency.Critically analyse, giving reasons, whether Phil has created a lease or a licence in favour of Lauren and Ian? 3) In February 2022, Gordon purchased Millbank from Tony. Millbank consisted of a large house with a substantial garden, a swimming pool, and a small wood. Always keen to do things himself, Gordon ignored his friends’ advice and arranged the conveyance of Millbank without the assistance of a solicitor. When he moved in, however, he found that the following items had been removed by Tony:a) A large observation balloon, which floated about 40 metres above the swimming pool. The balloon provided spectacular views over Millbank as well as the surrounding countryside in all directions. The balloon was anchored in place by three steel cables attached to concrete blocks resting on the ground. The balloon had been accessed by a rope ladder and serviced by electricity and water supplies.b) The swimming pool diving board.c) All the carpets in the house, including carpet tiles which had been glued to the floor in the downstairs bathroom; andd) A 72-inch plasma TV which had rested on a tailor-made, wall-mounted bracket in the underground cinema room.Last month, the local paintballing club approached Gordon with a view to buying the woodland at Millbank for their games. They offered him £100,000 which Gordon agreed to. He and the head paint-baller, Ed, had shaken hands on the deal and to confirm their arrangement, Ed had written on the back of an old envelope:‘This confirms what we agreed on 15th October 2022.’Both Gordon and Ed both signed the back of the envelope. The paint-ballers have since spent £20,000 digging trenches and erecting shooting platforms but now Gordon has decided that he would rather not have a lot of noisy people running around the wood on Sunday mornings.Advise Gordon as to the legal issues raised by these events, referring to legal principles, case law and statute as appropriate.
