Strand Securities Ltd v Caswell [1965]

Strand Securities Ltd v Caswell [1965]

Key Points of the Case:

• Occupancy on Behalf of Another: A person can create an overriding interest if they occupy land on behalf of another person, establishing a proprietary right.

• Own Account Occupancy: In this case, the stepdaughter was occupying the land on her own account, not on behalf of the landowner. Thus, the occupation did not qualify as an overriding interest.
