Supreme Court of Rhode Island

Evelina Costa v. Carol Ann Silva

June 9, 20102010 R.I. LEXIS 77

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s judgment that the defendant, Carol Ann Silva, holds no easement over the plaintiffs’ land, that her adverse‑possession claim was futile because statutory notice requirements were not satisfied, and that the permanent injunction restraining her trespass was proper. The Court held that the trial justice did not err in either regard.
