Das v Linden Mews Ltd
is an English land law case, concerning rights of way (a major type of easements). Facts The company, Linden Mews Ltd, was formed by certain residents of Linden Mews in Notting Hill to buy the road, where in places the residents regularly historically parked on average one car per house which was all the space available. The exception was nos. 4 and 5 who owned a small garden as separate parcels of land (tenements) for parking beyond the end of the road since 1988 and in 1998 opened up part of the wall, affixing substantial gates to access it more easily. These two residents claimed an easement, and the company counterclaimed trespass seeking an injunction (and failing which an agreement to refrain from parking in the residents' yards at the end of the road in favour of their accepting its proposed levy of parking charges on the road it owned). The company said/argued: Anything more, for free, than disembarking and unloading in front of their properties was not acceptable to it. Hypothetically it would allow free access into any garage in any of the houses own plots, were such to exist. It would require the payment by the various owners
