Court of Appeals Clarifies Adverse Possession Doctrine
September 28, 2006
Despite its ancient origins, adverse possession doctrine retains considerable contemporary importance. Disputed questions of fact explain the continuing volume of adverse possession litigation, but unfortunate statements of law have also been a factor. This past spring, in <i>Walling v.

Old Stone Hill Road Associates (see infra<i>, p. 7) faced an issue of first impression: Can neighboring landowners invoke private restrictive covenants to prevent construction of a cellular telephone tower? The court upheld the restrictive covenants, recognizing that the federal statute was designed to reduce state and local regulation of cell phone facilities, not to alter rights created by private agreement.
