The case raises the following issues: (1) Did the Court of Appeal err in reversing the finding that the Respondent had not proved documentary title in respect of the contested property? May the courts rely on section 3 of the Conveyancing and Law of Property Act to require the Respondent to deduce title beyond her 1963 Conveyance? (2) Did the Court of Appeal wrongly interfere with the finding that the Appellant had proved intention to possess? Does section 38 of the Limitation Act 1995 apply in the present circumstances? (3) If the Respondent has documentary title and the Appellant has possessory title in respect of the property, does the former, even if defective, constitute better title than the latter in a claim in trespass?

What is the correct approach that UK courts should adopt when determining fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (“FRAND”) terms for global portfolio licences of standard essential patents? Did the Court of Appeal err in reaching its own determination of the FRAND rate in this case, instead of remitting the matter for re-assessment? Did the Court of Appeal err in its approach to the question of payment of royalties on past sales in FRAND licences? Did the Court of Appeal err in its consideration of the effects of parallel foreign patent infringement proceedings?
