Property Law 416204
2015Assignment
This assignment accounts for 10% of the total mark for the
paper.
Owen started the exclusive Grand View Lodge in Queenstown
(the Lodge) as a successful commercial enterprise. At the
bottom of the Lodge gardens is a standalone, elite self-
contained unit, called “The Shed.” From the Shed there are
spectacular views out to Lake Wakatipu and The Remarkables.
Owen sold the Lodge to Vernon some years ago. Owen made
sure a clause was inserted in the sale agreement allowing him to
occupy the Shed "board free" for the month of August of each
calendar year, commencing from the date title passed. This
right was stated to be “personal” to Owen for the duration of his
life.
At the same time, the sale agreement recorded Owen had the
right to store his boat at the Lodge and launch it onto the Lake.
Owen wanted both these right reserved, even though in fact he
kept his boat stored over the road on a property he still owned.
The fact that the boat is actually stored on the property across
the road is not recorded in the sale agreement.
In July 2015 Vernon entered into an agreement to sell the Lodge
to Percy. The sale agreement does not refer either to Owen’s
right to occupy the Shed, or Owen’s right to store and launch
the boat.
Percy visited the property prior to taking title, and saw Owen
launching his boat into the Lake. He struck up a chat with
Owen, who advised him that he (Owen) had “title” rights to
occupy the Shed for the month of August, and also “title” rights
to launch his boat from Lodge land for so long as he lived. This
surprised Percy, who immediately went to see his lawyer, Lucy,
and asked her to look into the matter.
Lucy examined the issued certificate of title and told Percy that
no such title rights existed. Lucy then made the agreement to
purchase the property unconditional, by approving the title.
Prior to Percy paying for the land, Lucy received a letter from
Owen’s lawyer, stating Owen had a lease “for life” to occupy
the Shed for the month of August each year, and also an
easement to store and launch his boat at the Lodge whenever he
wanted to. Lucy ignored this letter as she was confident from
her earlier investigations that Owen had no rights that would
bind Percy as the new owner.
Title to the Lodge subsequently passed into the name of Percy.
It is now August 2015. Percy is now the registered owner of the
land. Owen has arrived at the Lodge. He is claiming he has a
right to occupy the Shed and launch his boat onto the Lake over
the Lodge property.
REQUIRED
Lucy seeks your legal advice.
a) What is the possible legal basis of Owen’s claim to use the
Shed?
b) What is the possible legal basis of Owen’s claim to launch
his boat?
c) In any event, has Percy taken title clear of any of these
rights?
NOTE: in answering this above question it is accepted you may
not have all the relevant information. Indicate what other issues
would be necessary to give the required legal advice, and how
such issues may affect your answer.
Note:
Marks will be awarded for structure, analysis, sound reasoning
and clear conclusions. Marks may be deducted for excessive
surplusage.
The New Zealand Law Style Guide should be adhered to.
