Why ?
1. Frailty of memory of witnesses2. Reward the
person who works the land even if he is a
trespasser ! Punish the owner who allows
his land to fall into disuse ?
9
Why ? - REALLY ??
Quieting disputes- permitting the community to
get on with their lives without rehashing
old disharmony
10
Sauce 4 the goose is not necessarily sauce 4
thegander -adverse possession against Crown is
not possible in Vic - s 7 Limitation of Actions
Act

S 23 - extension of time in casesof
disabilityinfancy, mental incapacity, etc.
Extra 6 years beyond removal ofdisability
12
S 23 - extension of time in casesof
disabilityinfancy, mental incapacity, etc.
Disability must exist on the first dayof adverse
possession - real ownerlosing his marbles the
day afteradverse possession commencesdoes not
extend the limitationperiod.
13
Adverse occupation against 1 monthold infant-
after 15 years I cannot acquire titlebecause
infant not yet adult- in fact, I have to wait 17
y, 11 m PLUS 6 y 23y, 11 monthsbefore I can
acquire title
14
S 23(1)(c)ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM period Is 30 years
for land
Adverse occupation of 14 years 11 months _at_
time of owners deathleaving 1 month old infant
as heirWhen that infant is 15 yrs 2 monthsI
can acquire title despite infantsdisability
15
S 24 Stopping time running -
LAND Acknowledgment in WRITINGBEFORE extinction
of titlemeans time begins running afresh
cf OTHER LEGAL ACTIONSacknowledgment can be
after full period has expired
16
S 18 - Title is extinguished atend of limitation
period
Caution - there are some who believe that to
extinguish title it is necessaryto occupy for
the limitation periodAND apply to be registered
- we hopethey have their professionalindemnity
insurance paid up !
17
S 8 - 15 y adverse possession prohibits real
owner from bringing legal action to recover land.
S 14 - real owner must be out of possession
AND trespasser must be in possession adverse to
interestsof real owner
18
Victorian scheme provides anew Certificate of
Title
For whole parcels this C/T is a replacementfor
part parcels an additional C/Tis issued
Would you believe a C/t for a 1 cm x 1 cm plot
of land ???
19
When Victoria introduced adversepossession, they
forgot to providea mechanism to permit
registrationof the adverse posseessor
It took 30 years to remedy that oversight
But omitted to provide forthe adverse
possessordisinclined to apply forregistration
