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.

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.
