Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA property owner sued a neighbor seeking removal of a structure encroaching on their land, which the neighbor claimed had been erected following a boundary agreement and based on an erroneous survey. The court held that even if the neighbor relied in good faith on an erroneous survey, the principle of inviolability of property rights prevails over the mistaken belief of the encroaching party; thus, the neighbor was required to remove the structure as it illegally trespassed onto the claimant's property, affirming the decision in favor of the claimant.
