(1825) 4 B and C 574 (KB). The claimant was a tenant of Crown land, which he used for hunting. He persued an action in trespass to land against a person who claimed to be execising a public right of way. The defendant claimed that since the claimant had no title to the land, he had no standing to sue. The court held that it was the possession, not the ownership, that was important for standing (but see Delaney v tpsmith ltd (1946)).
