CCJ settles prescriptive rights case over Duncan St property

The Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) last Friday dismissed an appeal in which a Guyanese  woman, her daughter and her daughter’s husband were seeking adverse possession of a portion of land.

The case involved Basantie Persaud who had obtained a declaration of title from the Com-missioner of Title to a portion of land—Sublot X—the northern portion of West ½ Lot 80 Duncan Street, Newtown, Kitty.

Sublot X was passed to the late common-law husband of Persaud, Frederick Fletchman, when his mother Iris Sobers died in 1990.
