The ownership of a million-dollar estate is being challenged by a squatter who claims it was abandoned by the local council.
Kerre Reddy, 60, is using an archiac law to contest the ownership of the 29.5421 hectare Mt Lees Reserve near Feilding in Manawatū.
Reddy, who has occupied the property with another person, off and on for over two months, notified the district council with an “allodial claim” in July.
It refers to a historic British common law that states by erecting a flag and planting a crop on an abandoned property, a person is entitled to own it.
