MEECE v. FELDMAN LUMBER CO.

No. 2007-SC-000785-DG.

290 S.W.3d 631 (2009)

Nellie MEECE, et al., Appellants, v. FELDMAN LUMBER COMPANY, Appellee.

Supreme Court of Kentucky.

As Corrected June 22, 2009.

Rehearing Denied August 27, 2009.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John T. Mandt, Somerset, KY, for appellants.

John T. Aubrey, Manchester, KY, for appellee.


Opinion of the Court by Justice SCHRODER.

The issue in this case is whether property owners should be awarded treble damages under KRS 364.130 for trees cut by someone without "color of title." Color of title is not based on a subjective belief, but on objective evidence of title from which a subjective belief may by founded. We reverse the Court of Appeals on damages and remand to the trial court for further proceedings on damages.
