A property owner filed a claim against a neighboring landowner, alleging that an encroaching structure, built without necessary authorization, caused damage to their property and seeking its demolition, but the appellate court dismissed the claim based on a ten-year prescription period that the appellant argued should not apply because the structure was built illicitly; the high court quashed the lower court's decision, reasoning that since the structure was built unlawfully, the principle of prescription could not validate the trespass or defeat the claim for demolition, as the unauthorized construction constituted a continuous infringement of property rights.
