Moore v Moore [2004]

Key Points:

• Case Background:

◦ This case involved a contractual license granting permission to occupy a home for a specific period of 4 days.

• Legal Decision:

◦ The court held that a 4-day license was insufficient to establish a substantial interest in the property. For an interest to be deemed substantial, it must go beyond a temporary or minor arrangement.

Implications:

• Significance:

◦ Moore v Moore underscores that a substantial interest in property requires more than a short-term or minimal arrangement. This decision reinforces the principle that legal rights or claims must be grounded in a significant and enduring interest.
