Supreme Court of New Jersey

Georgia O’keeffe, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Barry Snyder, D/B/A Princeton Gallery of Fine Art, Defendant-Appellant…

July 17, 198083 N.J. 478

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for trial, holding that the discovery rule applies to the six‑year replevin limitations period, that adverse possession does not govern title to chattels, and that the statute’s expiration vests title in the possessor. The court also overruled prior cases applying adverse possession to personal property and directed a plenary hearing on these issues.
