Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the review regarding the presumption of original possession. The court held that exercising factual power over a thing creates a presumption of possession in one's own name, provided the possessor was not the initiator of that possession. Consequently, the claim failed because the plaintiff could not prove they were the original initiator of the control over the property.
