mortgagee if:

registration of the mortgage;
● the interest is protected by Schedule 3 of the LRA 2002 and it is in existence by the date
of creation of the mortgage

at the farm. Joe was not aware of Wendy at the time of completion but she is
refusing to leave.
1. Type of third party right- Statutory right of occupation s.30 FLA 1996 so
wendy has the right to stay there
2. Civil partnership
3. This right is not capable of being legal as it doesnt fall under S 1 (2) LPA
1925 this is statutory right because it comes from statute legislation
4. Conditions under s30 1996:
● Partys have to be in an ongoing marriage (not dead or divorced)

conditions are not meet wendy meets these conditions and therefore has the
