A plaintiff, alleging that a structure encroached upon their property, sought a court order for its demolition and damages; the lower court dismissed the claim, finding that the statute of limitations barred the action because the structure had been in place for over the prescriptive period, and the high court upheld this decision, reasoning that the continuous maintenance of an encroachment constitutes a continuing offense, but the right to demand its removal, based on the original construction, is subject to the prescriptive period, which, having run its course, extinguished the plaintiff's right to seek demolition, despite the ongoing nature of the nuisance.
