On the uncontradicted evidence the plaintiff and his family established continuous exclusive factual possession and animus possidendi of the Subject Land for over 20 years prior to the writ; therefore plaintiff acquired possessory title and the registered owner's right to recover possession was barred by Limitation Ordinance ss7(2) and 17 before commencement; the Government resumption did not abate the live dispute between plaintiff and defendant regarding historic possessory title and entitlement to resumption compensation, and the striking out application was dismissed on merits.
