C.A. 2nd
B239014

The Second Appellate District affirmed a judgment. The court held that a nonprofit religious organization’s status as a “public benefit corporation” did not make it a “public entity” immune from adverse possession under Civil Code §1007. The court further held that, because the organization’s “welfare exemption” from property taxes exempted it from paying property taxes, the adverse possessor was excused from the usual requirement that he pay taxes on the disputed land for five years.
