<P> </P> <P>Does anybody out there know anything about the law regarding letting someone use land that you own to raise animals ... and their ability if it goes on for a certain period of time, to then claim ownership of the same land!</P> <P>We own a 3 acre meadow and we allow a local farmer to keep his sheep on it at no cost. It suits us as it keeps the grass down and obviously it suits him as he gets a rent free meadow to use!</P> <P>However I have been told that if he uses it for 365 consecutive days he is then entitled to make some sort of claim on it! I'd like to know, before I make a complete fool of myself by asking him to remove them for one day per year if this is the case. </P> <P>If I get no joy from all the very knowledgeable people who use this site then I will of course consult a solicitor. I do know Doc had a similar problem, when he was buying his house with the people who were selling it and if it what was done to them happened to me, I would be a trifle miffed to say the least!</P> <P>I'll let Doc decide if he wants to put his story on here, but if anyone can shed any light on the law regarding this I would be very grateful!</P>
