Link Lending Ltd Case
Summary
The Link Lending Ltd v Bustard [2010] case involves property law, focusing on the concept of actual occupation and the discretion judges have in such determinations. Ms. Bustard, unable to manage her affairs due to mental health issues, granted a mortgage to Link Lending Ltd. The case highlights the role of intentions and wishes in determining actual occupation, raising concerns about mission creep and the potential risks for purchasers. The Land Registration Act 2002 empowers the Registrar to alter the Register, but a land registration system cannot guarantee complete accuracy due to human error and fraud. Indemnity payments are made for losses due to register mistakes, calculated based on the loss value.Full Conversation

At [*] Mummery LJ quotes from Lewison J's judgement in Thompson v Foy [*] * P&CR *, which provides an overview of the relevant case law, & he approves it at [*]. Does this case law, & the ecision in Bustard itself (based on Mummery LJ's summary at [*] of the relevant factors), allow judges too much discretion in determining whether someone is in actual occupation?
Case Rating: *
The case law in Thompson v Foy and the decision in Bustard, as summarized by Mummery LJ, does provide judges with a fair amount of discretion in determining actual occupation. It considers various factors such as the intention to return, physical presence, and the nature of the occupation. This flexibility ensures that each case is assessed on its unique facts, but it might lead to inconsistent outcomes.
Is there a specific aspect of the discretion that concerns you?

Is the use of 'intentions & wishes' as a factor determning whether a person is in actual occupation leading to 'mission creep', as described by Bogusz? Are purchasers at risk of being bound by interests of peopel in 'actual occupation' where there is little outward sign of that occupation?
Case Rating: *
The use of 'intentions & wishes' as factors in determining actual occupation can indeed lead to concerns like 'mission creep.' Purchasers could be at risk of being bound by interests of those in 'actual occupation,' even if there is little outward sign. This discretion can cause unpredictability in property transactions.
Would you like more detailed information on how courts assess 'actual occupation' or steps purchasers can take to protect themselves?

can you give an example with intentions and wishes and mission creep
Case Rating: *
Sure! Here's an example of how "intentions and wishes" and "mission creep" could play out in a legal context:
Example:
- Intentions and Wishes: Suppose a homeowner intends to return to their property after a temporary stay elsewhere. Their intention to return can be a factor in determining if they are in "actual occupation" of the property, even if they are not physically present.
- Mission Creep: Over time, the courts start considering not just the homeowner's intention to return, but also their wishes about the property's future use, expanding the criteria for "actual occupation." This gradual shift can lead to unpredictability in property law, as purchasers may be bound by interests that are not outwardly apparent.
