I'm not Ethel, Deri, but from a quick google search I don't think there is an act with these names.
Seclusion is referred to in the Mental Health Act.
Inclusion is certainly an issue in education (Education Act) and in disability (Disability Discrimination Act)

Every law in the land is here
http://www.statutelaw.gov.uk
but there's no law with either of the titles you suggest.

You'll need to provide further details of what your question is about before Ethel (or anyone else) can make sense of it.

I'm not Ethel either.

I'll hazard a guess you are talking about the Enclosures Acts, of which there were many starting from 1603, the last one being in 1903.

They had various scopes but the general gist was fencing off or containing land so the haves could have a bit more and the have-nots had less.

OK, we know a bit about that here too.

There is a general principal in English Law called Adverse Possession. A person who occupies another's land for more than 12 years, maintaining it as if he owned it, without permission, may then apply to claim the land. The popular press refer to the law as Squatters' Rights.

In 2002 the law was changed such that the above still applies to unregistered land (at the Land Registry). However if the land in question is registered, gaining Poseesionary title for the land is a lot more difficult.

So the answer to your question is 'maybe'.

Are you claiming land or had a plot you seem to have now lost to someone else?

hello buildersmate
thank you for your reply, I will try to explain. my next door naibors and myself have a partitioning fence to which the have for many years have built a garage running from north to south, and built about 6 to 9 inches, i know it dosn't seem a lot but i want to put a new patio down can they make me take or cut back, i think i can grasp the meaning of squatters rights, and will further contact the council on this matter...

many thanks

Ken
