Would some one be able to clarify if this is a case for Law of Prescription?
A street of neighbours have properties that back onto a farm. For over 30 years the neighbours have been crossing the farmers field to reach the beach on the bottom of the headland.
There have been no fences. The beach is a public beach. There is beach access via a crown landtrack that is about 600m further along the road.
Recently the farmer has erected fences preventing access across his land to the beach. Would the residents have a case for Law of Prescription in property law?
Many thanks.
