Forfeiture

[ananda]

Has forfeiture of leasehold properties been de facto abolished? Is it compatible with European law or with natural law?

[R1Geezer]

No, yes, WTF

When a lease expires the land/property reverts to the owner, ain't rocket science is it?

[daffy654]

You have asked this question several times now.Why weren't the answers you previously got enough for you?

[fredpuli47]

You mean European law isn't natural ? That's a shock ! Why, there's reams of directives about light fittings and putting edges around fields which are obviously natural !
Seriously, what is natural law? Do you mean 'common law' ?

Me suspects s/he is after a lengthy essay type answer rather than a few words.

If that's the case OP you've come to the wrong place.

I suspect natural law is to be taken in its philosophical manner, which means the fundamental laws that man would live by of his own volition. There's been many philosophers debating on what natural law is and means to people, notably by luminaries such as Fuller et al. For example, where one's laws conflict with human nature, which is to be obeyed? This discussion inevitably ends up in Nazism. The idea was that Human Rights legislation would enshrine such natural law, but I see that as a flawed concept. Is natural law contrary to murder? If so, what about in times of war? I fail to see a great difference between how one is killed. My point is that natural law is far from a definite term. Few would argue in favour of paedophilia, but it takes all-sorts...
However, I specialise in IP and didn't pay great attention to lectures in the law of real property, so this is as far as my answer goes. It seems as though natural law would not likely concern itself with this (Taking into account the HRA). But seriously, I remember a question strikingly similar to this a while back- in the time it's taken for you to wait and repost, you could have read up on this yourself.

Glad you finally got round to elucidating your question of 29th October!

Unfortunately tour clarification leaves me none the wiser, but Gmcd01 seems to know what you're on about.

Ah, nice one with finding the original question, New Judge (I couldn't be bothered!) I understand about the natural law (I was sad enough to sit in on some UCL jurisprudence lectures in my hazy LLM days) but as to forfetiure (the actual useful bit to know), in the words of a radio show, "I'm sorry, I haven't a clue".
