AU CONSULTANCY at Land Tribunal – (Day 1)

Adjudicator is hearing client’s case during a 2-day trial. The dispute is based on the correctness of the boundary lines of the clients' (Applicant) demise area and the Respondents claim of ownership of the disputed land, as the Land Registry are unable to confirm the plans/ordnance survey which have been unable to give precise clarification.

To date, both parties have appointed experts to carry out survey, the expert AU CONSULTANCY instructed for the client has produced quite a compelling report and also gave a stellar performance in the witness box. 
The opponent’s expert witness quite literally had a car crash in the witness box. The Adjudicator expressed some strong words of unhappiness/displeasure at the manner of the Respondents counsels conduct.

The remedy being sought is effectively alteration or rectification of the plans to confirm my clients understanding of the boundary lines between the two properties.

The original building, which is being used as one of the guiding ‘lines’, was originally constructed in 1937. The intervening period has inevitably seen some changes, alterations and building works that may have affected the ‘lines’. In addition there is the possibility that the original 1937 survey/plans etc may have some flaws in the manner in which they were undertaken.

Day 1 has been a good day for the client, round 2 and day 2 coming up.
