DEVINS v. BOROUGH OF BOGOTA

124 N.J. 570 (1991)

592 A.2d 199

JAMES J. DEVINS AND MARY J. DEVINS, HIS WIFE, PLAINTIFFS-APPELLANTS, v. BOROUGH OF BOGOTA, DEFENDANT-RESPONDENT.

The Supreme Court of New Jersey.

Decided July 10, 1991.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Allen M. Bell argued the cause for appellants (Jacobs, Bell & Baumol, attorneys; Doreen E. McManimon, on the brief).

Joseph G. Monaghan argued the cause for respondent (DeMarrais & Monaghan, attorneys).

The opinion of the Court was delivered by POLLOCK, J.

The primary issue on this appeal is whether adverse possession should apply to municipally-owned property not dedicated to or used for a public purpose. Ruling that adverse possession should not so apply, the Appellate Division affirmed the Chancery Division's grant of summary judgment for the municipality, Borough of Bogota ("the Borough" or "Bogota").
