CONT

As a general rule the evidence of user necessary to induce the court to presume a lost modern grant must be stronger than that upon which the court will presume a grant upon immemorial user, for where the party opposing the claim shows that the user did not at one time exist, the presumption of a modern grant becomes a more violent inference than the presumption of an ancient grant based upon immemorial user. (Halsbury, 4th ed., Vol. 14, p. 46)
