LRA Claim under schedule 6 of the Land Registration Act 2002 for adverse possession of a flat by a squatter after the landlord had retaken possession of the flat but without having the leasehold title closed. Claim made to the Land Registry only in respect of the leasehold title. Claim upheld in respect of the leasehold title (subject to such right as the landlord may have to apply to have that title closed). Claim would not have succeeded if the Respondent had required the application to be dealt with under paragraph 5 of Schedule 6. Applicant refused permission to include a claim to the freehold title to the flat as no application in respect of the freehold title had been made to the Land Registry.
