Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the trial court's decision, restoring its judgment which found that the plaintiff failed to prove ownership of the disputed land measuring 25' x 11' and that the defendant had not encroached upon it. The court emphasized the importance of establishing ownership in property disputes, referencing relevant principles of property law. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling that the defendant's construction was lawful and not an encroachment.
