Is possession nine tenths of the law?

People often use or “possess” land that does not belong to them.  Depending upon the circumstances of that possession, this can sometimes be sufficient for the occupier to obtain a legal title.

For example, there are often areas of gardens where the owner is unclear and some land has never been registered at the Land Registry.
