New York Court of Appeals
Robert L. Ray, Appellants v. Beacon Hudson Mountain Corporation, Respondents, Defendant
April 30, 199688 N.Y.2d 154
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division and reinstated the Supreme Court judgment granting the Ray plaintiffs title to the disputed parcel. The Court held that the plaintiffs' seasonal occupancy combined with their ongoing acts of dominion, improvement, and protection satisfied the continuity requirement for adverse possession under RPAPL §§521 and 522.
