The court held that the plaintiffs' paper title was extinguished before commencement of proceedings because the Government, through long-standing licences/permits to occupiers, was in possession with the requisite intention to possess and the limitation period had run; the boundary was sufficiently certain; estoppel against the Government failed; a declaration that the defendants themselves held possessory title was refused because the Government (the licensor) was the party shown to have acquired possession and was not before the court.
