Ls-land.issue.19-911.08 Page

Most U.S. Land Courts (e.g., Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 185, § 53) hold that no title to registered land, whether legal or equitable, shall be acquired by adverse possession or prescription unless the use has been actual, open, continuous, notorious, and adverse for a period of not less than 20 years and the registered owner had actual knowledge of the adverse claim or the claim is noted on the certificate of title.

Here, Coastal’s title certificate contains no mention of any easement in favor of IRA. IRA did not file a notice of claim until 2005 (Docket 911.03), long after the twenty-year period (1963–1983) would have matured. Under Brackett v. Algonquin Gas Transmission Co. (Mass. Land Ct. 1999), failure to note an easement on the certificate renders the easement unenforceable against a subsequent bona fide purchaser. Coastal acquired the property in 2001 without notice of IRA’s claim; therefore, the prescriptive period effectively reset as to Coastal as a registered owner.

By applying the Three‑Prong Test to a non‑public easement, the tribunal reinforced the constitutional shield protecting landowners from uncompensated deprivations. This has influenced legislative drafting; the Land Management (Amendment) Act 2023 now contains an explicit clause (s. 18A) authorizing the LPA to impose private easements only where compensation is provided.

ls-land.issue.19-911.08 is a fictional-sounding identifier that suggests a serialized log, incident report, or issue in a project/repository. I'll treat it as an incident report entry and craft an engaging, self-contained write-up suitable for release notes, a changelog, or a narrative log.
