Will the boats be able to move off if they've been there fifteen years ? What sort of state are they in ? Will be interesting to see what happens next. Rog

Have you got a link? Is this the boat slum lord? Sorry replied to quickly No it isn't the slum Boats. It is about ten Boats which camped up on some unregistered land. The EA attempted to do an adverse possession of the land but withdrew after taking advice. However anyone who knows anything knows that below Staines upon Thames (the London Stone) riparian ownership does not include the riverbed. Above St Aines it does include the riverbed. So when the EA were advised they may lose the claim to the land they claimed the riverbed and space above it and the judge agreed. He also agreed that people on the Boats would not be made homeless as they could go elsewhere. The ruling also pointed out that anyone who wants to can stop for 24hrs at the mooring site and that includes the defendants. It is interesting.

Yes I agree it is interesting, it looks like the ea is preparing itself. What happened to the slum lord in the end? I thought the ea where taking him to court? I can’t remember hearing the outcome though.

I think what may happen here is erection of small buildings on the land parcels (they are very thin and beside a public footpath) as a way to test the land ownership question. But it seems the Boats will be going.

I can’t remember hearing the outcome though. He got fined. Not a problem. The Boats are currently located in a position that it seems he does technically have a right to keep them. They looked a bit rougher than usual so the end may be near for those.

I thought if there was ever a case for getting boats off the water it was them.

It helped that Nigel Moore (rip) was advising him about the legal position.
To be fair the slum Boats did look rougher than usual so it is possible they have been abandoned but I don't know.

Yes Nigel was commended by the judge for his in depth knowledge and persistence. He was also polite. A gentleman.
