Proof of user as of right for so long as aged persons could remember came to be accepted as sufficient to raise a presumption that it had existed from time immemorial. Nevertheless, it has been held that common law prescription based upon legal memory cannot be set up in Canada as there is no time immemorial on which to found it.(Anger & Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, pp. 936-7)

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
CONT

The basis of prescription is that if long enjoyment of a right is shown, the court will strive to uphold the right by presuming that it had a lawful origin. Thus the court may presume, on proof of the fact of long enjoyment that there once was an actual grant of the right, even though it is impossible to produce any direct evidence of such a grant. It is then "the habit, and in my view the duty, of the court, so far as it lawfully can, to clothe the fact with right". "The court is endowed with a great power of imagination for the purpose of supporting ancient user. "(Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 841).
