  BUSINESS, PROPERTY, WILLS, AND TRUSTS

  Carla Anita Cecilia Braynen Turnquest (Respondent) v Water and Sewerage Corporation (Appellant) (Bahamas)
  Judgment given
  [2026] UKPC 33
  Case summary:

  The case raises the following issues: (1) Did the Court of Appeal err in reversing the finding that the Respondent had not proved documentary title in respect of the contested property? May the courts rely on section 3 of the Conveyancing and Law of Property Act to require the Respondent to deduce title beyond her 1963 Conveyance? (2) Did the Court of Appeal wrongly interfere with the finding that the Appellant had proved intention to possess? Does section 38 of the Limitation Act 1995 apply in the present circumstances? (3) If the Respondent has documentary title and the Appellant has possessory title in respect of the property, does the former, even if defective, constitute better title than the latter in a claim in trespass?
