Property Law Episode 1: Legal Principles Surrounding Finding Objects on Land
Update: 2024-10-21
Description
In this episode, we explore the legal principles that determine ownership when objects are found on land—a key topic for the FE1 exam. We’ll examine the distinction between objects found on the surface, where the finder often has a stronger claim, and those found beneath the ground, which generally belong to the landowner. Cases like Parker v British Airways Board and Elwes v Brigg Gas Company will illustrate these principles. We’ll also cover the concept of treasure trove, where valuable buried items with no known owner belong to the State, as seen in Webb v Ireland. Join us for a comprehensive look at how location and ownership impact the rights of finders and landowners!
