Right to pass over adjoining land

摘要

There are two recent cases in the Court of Appeal both of which concern rights of way and access for agricultural machinery and questions about the physical extent of any right of way. In the first case of Oliver and another v Symons and another [2012] EWCA Civ 267 the Court of Appeal held that, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, a right of way does not extend beyond the verges of the track over which it runs.
