The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by R.S. against the Lower Court's refusal to recognize the acquisition of ownership by prescription. The applicant claimed continuous possession of the property for thirty years, but the court found no evidence supporting this duration or the requisite intent to own. Consequently, the claim for acquisition of ownership was rejected, and the appellant was ordered to bear the costs of the cassation proceedings.
