Rights of way cover the legal ability to travel over land on designated paths, such as public footpaths and bridleways. A solicitor in this area handles creation, diversion or extinguishment of these paths, challenges to proposed changes, and disputes when paths are blocked or obstructed. Work often involves applying for path orders, negotiating with landowners, advising authorities on procedures, and representing clients at inquiries or in court if needed. The matter may hinge on evidence of historical use, local byelaws, and highway jurisdiction.
Solicitors protect clients through regulated practice, professional accountability and proper handling of inquiries or disputes. They guide the preparation of evidence, liaise with local authorities and highways officers, and ensure any orders or diversions follow statutory procedures under the Highways Act 1980 and National Policy. Their involvement secures timely, compliant outcomes and safeguards clients’ access rights against unlawful interference.
