The plaintiffs failed to establish continuous adverse possession for the required limitation period: the 1st Plaintiff's actual occupation ended when he granted the tenancy in 1967 and the tenant's occupation cannot be attributed to the landlord for limitation purposes; moreover s.12(3)/s.13(3)(b) do not apply to purported leases granted by a wrongful claimant such that receipt of rent in this case could not be treated as deemed adverse possession. Claim dismissed.
