Mr. George is the occupier of a strip of land, which forms part of a larger parcel of land which is owned by Mr. Guye. Mr. George claims that he is entitled to remain in possession of the land since he has occupied it in excess of 30 years. He is claiming that it should override the rights of the registered owner. The appeal raises issues of statutory interpretation and the correlation between two pieces of legislation, the Title by Registration Act and the Real Property Limitation Act, in the Commonwealth of Dominica.
