Case Study

Jenny parked her caravan on a beach side block of land that she leased from Bob. Over many years, she adds shade awnings, a brick barbeque, a fenced garden and a wooden deck to the caravan. The wheels of the caravan have sunk into the soil and it would no longer be possible to tow the caravan away. Jenny's lease has now expired and Bob is refusing to allow Jenny to remove the caravan stating that it is now part of the land.

Qus: -Advise Jenny as to whether she can remove the caravan. Discuss Bob's rights to keep the caravan. Who is likely to prevail if a lawsuit is filed in court?
