Recommended: Adverse-possession and third party rights

In the case between Arnholt vs. Carlisle, William Arnholt the plaintiff in this case filed a complaint against John Carlisle, the defendant in this case in order to seek the title to the disputed property on the grounds of adverse possession after a dispute broke out (Bagley, 2016, p. 572). So the two biggest issues to take out of this case are zoning and adverse possession. Zoning can be defined as the division of a city into districts and the application of specific land use regulations in each district (Bagley, 2016, p. G-32). So in this case, there is zoning relief to the purchasers as the real use of property is different from the land use regulations. As for adverse possession, it can be defined as when a person can acquire legal ownership

    The real dispute about the plaintiffs’ rights was focused on whether the fraud exception to the protection afforded to the registered proprietor by s. 184(3)(b) of the Land Title Act had been enlivened by the conduct of Mr Lacy and Mrs Capper as the plaintiffs’ admitted agents or by that of Mr Sultan. On the factual findings I have made, Mr Sultan has not been shown to have acted fraudulently nor to have been the plaintiffs’ agent.

    McLaughlin v. Heikkila is a case that involves Wilbert Heikklia and David Mc Laughlin who entered into an agreement involving eight parcels to be sold to Mr. Mc Laughlin by Mr. Heikklia. According to Cheeseman (2013), the facts of the case indicate that Mr. Mc Laughlin submitted offers to Mr. Heikklia for the purchase of three parcels and afterwards, McLaughlin submitted earnest-money checks and three printed purchase agreements to Heikklia. According to the Minnesota Court of Appeals, McLaughlin himself never signed any of the agreements. However, his wife did sign two of the agreements and she initiated the third agreement on September 14, 2003. Then, two days later on September 16, 2003 Heikklia made changes to two of the agreements by increasing the cost of the parcels, and he changed the closing dates on all three agreements, including add a reservation of mineral rights to all three (Minnesota Court of Appeals, 2005).

    Assessment of the Statement that Property is a Power Relationship Between People Property is the right to possess, enjoy or use a determinant thing, and includes the right of excluding others from doing the same. The concept of ownership or property has no single or widely accepted definition. Like any other concept it has great weight in public discourse and the popular usage varies broadly. Property is frequently conceived as a 'bundle of rights and obligations.' Property is stressed as not a relationship between people and things, but a relationship between people with regard to things.

Ownership is not just the tangible and valued items in our pockets, homes, and bank accounts; it is the information we gain from books, and experiences, and the others around us. Although the possession of some objects and beliefs can have detrimental effects, they can also allow you to grow your character.

  • Law Example Essay: The Decision Making Process

    714 Words  | 2 Pages

    The backbone of planning control is s.57 (1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 , which states, “planning permission is required for the carrying out of any development of land.” S.55(1) TCPA 1990 provides us with the statutory definition of ‘development’, “the carrying out of building, engineering, mining or other operations in, on, over or under land, or the making of any material change in the use of any buildings or other land.” In order to decide whether to allow such development the decision-maker must have regard to s. 70(2) TCPA 1990, which states, “the authority shall have regard to the provisions of the development plan, so far as material to the application, and to any other material considerations.” The status of plans was enhanced by s.54A of the TCPA 1990 , now repealed by s.38(6) Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, which states, “determination [of an application] must be made in accordance with the plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise.” Material considerations are numerous and varied. As stated in Stringer v Minister of Housing and Local Government, “any consideration which relates to the use and development of land is capable of being a planning consideration.” National planning policy is a particularly important material consideration. A decision-maker has discretion to weigh all factors before as he sees fit, although a decision is challengeable if he fails to take a relevant factor int...
