Synthèse Legislator

Généré par l'IA

A property owner sought damages from a neighboring landowner who had constructed a garage that partially encroached upon the boundary line, arguing this constituted a trespass and demanded the demolition of the encroaching part, while the lower court had denied the demolition request, finding the encroachment minimal and lawful under a prescriptive right, the high court upheld the lower court's decision, reasoning that the right to compel demolition of an encroachment must be balanced against the relative harm and benefit, and in this case, the slight encroachment did not justify the severe measure of demolition given the long-standing, good-faith construction.
