Buckinghamshire CC v Moran
[1990] Ch 623; [1989] 2 All ER 225
Key Principle
A squatter establishes adverse possession by factual possession of the land coupled with an intention to possess (animus possidendi) — an intention to exclude the world including the paper owner so far as practicable — and there is no rule that the owner cannot be dispossessed merely because the squatter's acts do not interfere with the owner's intended future use of the land.
