Re Nisbet and Potts' Contract [1906] 1 Ch 386 (Court of Appeal) — a precedent, not a farm case
Why it is not ours: A reported precedent on adverse possession and covenants; it is not about Llandough land.
The record
- The court's view: acquiring title by adverse possession bars only the paper owner's claim; restrictive covenants that already bound the land still bind it, and the person in possession (Re Nisbet and Potts' Contract [1906] 1 Ch 386, CA). Related: Fairweather v St Marylebone Property Co Ltd [1963] AC 510.
What it does and does not establish
A rule of law, listed here because it surfaced in the day's search. Whether any pre-1955 burden on the land (for example the rights in the 1905 conveyance, EV-0013) bears on the 1987 case is a separate legal question, not settled here.
Next step
List the known burdens in pre-1955 instruments and who could enforce them.

Exclusion means “not this property” or “not in scope”, not that the source is false, and not evidence of wrongdoing by itself.
