               I hope that this email clarifies the information that I require.
               NEXT ACTION BY MICHAEL CARROLL & CO.
               Once I receive the above information, I will email the Crown Court and the CPS, and I will request an
               urgent application to remove the reporting conditions on the grounds of financial hardship.
               140,
               I will confirm a visit nearer the end of next week in order that you can see the colour photographs. I
               will confirm with the barrister that they are happy to use black and white pictures and if this is the
               case, I will give you the colour set. Should you have any further questions then please email me back
               so that I can assist you further.
               Regards
               Josephine
               PS Below I have attached some information regarding the law of adverse possession
               The new regime – a brief overview Prior to the coming into force of the LRA 2002, a squatter could
               acquire the right to be registered as proprietor of a registered estate if they had been in adverse
               possession of the land for a minimum of 12 years. However, the doctrine of adverse possession did
               not fit easily with the concept of indefeasibility of title that underlies the system of land registration.
               Nor could it be justified by the uncertainties as to ownership which can arise where land is
               unregistered; the legal estate is vested in the registered proprietor and they are identified in the
               register. The LRA 2002 has created a new regime that applies only to registered land. This new
               regime is set out in Schedule 6 to the Act. It makes it more likely that a registered proprietor will be
               able to prevent an application for adverse possession of their land being completed. The following
               paragraphs provide a brief overview of the new regime; the remaining sections of this guide discuss it
               in more detail. Adverse possession of registered land for 12 years of itself will no longer affect the
               registered proprietor’s title. After 10 years’ adverse possession, the squatter will be entitled to apply to
               be registered as proprietor in place of the registered proprietor of the land. On such an application
               being made the registered proprietor (and certain other persons interested in the land) will be notified
               and given the opportunity to oppose the application. If the application is not opposed1, the squatter
               will be registered as proprietor in place of the registered proprietor of the land. If the application is
               opposed, it will be rejected unless either: it would be unconscionable because of an equity by estoppel
               for the registered proprietor to seek to dispossess the squatter and the squatter ought in the
               circumstances to be registered as proprietor the squatter is for some other reason entitled to be
               registered as proprietor, or the squatter has been in adverse possession of land adjacent to their own
               under the mistaken but reasonable belief that they are the owner of it, the exact line of the boundary
               with this adjacent land has not been determined and the estate to which the application relates was
               registered more than a year prior to the date of the application. In the event that the application is
               rejected but the squatter remains in adverse possession for a further two years, they will then be able,
               subject to certain exceptions, to reapply to be registered as proprietor and this time will be so
               registered whether or not anyone opposes the
               141
               1 By ‘opposed’ we mean that a counter notice is served; see section 8 Giving counter notice to the
               registrar in response to notice. Instead, or at the same time, the registered proprietor may object to the
               application on the ground that there has not been the necessary 10 years’ adverse possession; see
               section 7 Objecting to the squatter’s application for the implications of such an objection.
