[2025] UKUT 110 (LC)

This appeal is against a decision of the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) published on 15 May 2024 in which the Judge explained her reasons for directing the Chief Land Registrar to give effect, in part only, to an application by the appellant, Mr Kirkman, and his wife, Mrs Christine Kirkman, for first registration of land on the South side of Well Heads near Bradford on the basis of adverse possession.

Permission to appeal was granted by this Tribunal. Before the FTT the application for first registration was objected to by the respondent, Bradshaw Pub Company Ltd, but it has chosen not to participate in the appeal. For that reason, and with the agreement of the appellant, the Tribunal directed that the appeal would be dealt with in writing. Submissions in support of the appeal have been provided by Mr Kirkman himself.
