👎 3 Williams / Buckler family, William (Billy) Buckler, Counsel for the defence
“The appeal was dismissed and possession ordered in six weeks.”
“I can see no escape therefore from the conclusion that, whether she liked it or not, from the time of her receipt of the letters, Mrs Buckler was in possession of the farmhouse and garden by the licence of BP Properties Ltd, and her possession was no longer adverse within the meaning of section 10 of the 1939 Act. Accordingly I would dismiss this appeal.”
“MUSTILL LJ and SIR EDWARD EVELEIGH agreed and did not add anything.”
“When Mrs Buckler died in 1983 it became clear her son was not going to leave”
