A property owner sued a neighbor seeking the demolition of a structure built on the neighboring property, alleging it encroached upon their land and violated a municipal setback regulation, while the neighbor argued the structure predated the regulation or that the owner's action was barred by a prescription period or estoppel due to prior acceptance of partial work; the court ultimately quashed the lower court's decision, reasoning that the prescriptive period for an action concerning the violation of a property boundary only began when the encroachment was physically manifested, and the mere acceptance of earlier, non-identical works did not prevent the owner from demanding the removal of the final, non-compliant structure, especially if the structure violated a public law regulation like a setback rule.
