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.

1
 If the application is not opposed , 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
