Anselmo Belotti, Respondent v. Andrew Bickhardt, Appellant, Impleaded With Others

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the lower courts, holding that the defendant Bickhardt acquired title to the disputed strip of land by adverse possession, tacking the possession of his predecessors through an unbroken chain of privity and showing intent to possess the whole building, thereby satisfying the statutory twenty‑year period.
