Anticipation of Trespass?
Published January 2010

Excessive Use of a Right of Way
Published January 2010
Bee v. Thompson C/A [November 2009]
Owners of land, over which a neighbour had a right of way, brought proceedings against that neighbour to prevent development of land served by the right of way. The claimants put forward two arguments; firstly that the right of way was restricted to agricultural purposes only, and secondly, that the increased use of the land, from grazing to the site of three houses, exceeded what was reasonably tolerable and would amount to excessive use.
