Real Property, Herbert I. Lazerow

Cal Law Trends and Developments

During the year, the California courts made the acquisition of property, either by adverse possession or possession as a result of the owner's abandonment, more difficult. While the courts did not change the rules of law they insisted on their pristine application. This demonstrates an understandable tendency, in an urbanizing society, toward restricting the transfer of title by possession alone to non-owners.
