English Couple Loses Legal Claim to Neighbour's Driveway Strip

Dr. Piers Connor and Professor Christine Pasquire have failed in their legal bid to claim ownership of a 1.4-metre garden strip used as a driveway. The First-tier Tribunal ruled that they did not meet the necessary ten-year occupancy requirement for adverse possession, having used the land only since 2017. This decision protects the property rights of their neighbours and highlights the strict criteria required for adverse possession claims.
