Regency Villas v. Diamond Resorts | Property Law Part A 2026

Описание: This lecture forms part of my Property / Land Law exam preparation series for 2026 and focuses on one of the most important modern cases on easements: Regency Villas Title Ltd v Diamond Resorts (Europe) Ltd (the Broome Park case).
The judgment addresses whether purely recreational and sporting rights—particularly in the context of timeshare developments and leisure complexes—can amount to legal easements.
In this video, I explain the facts of Broome Park, the Facilities Grant, and the distinction between dominant and servient tenements, before analysing the reasoning of the trial judge, the Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court majority, as well as Lord Carnwath’s dissent.
The lecture also covers the continuing relevance of In re Ellenborough Park, the limits imposed by positive obligations and maintenance requirements, the role of the rule against perpetuities, and why this case is central to modern problem questions and essay analysis.
This is essential viewing for students sitting Property or Land Law for UOL exam in 2026.
