Adverse possession is squatter law. It means that the squatter assumes
ownership of the land. I think the law we're thinking about is a bit
different - establishing a legal right-of-way. In the former, the
previous owner has no obligation to the new one. In the latter, there is
some stuff about ensuring that the, say, footpath doesn't become
dangerous. Eg: they can't construct pitfalls.
