Welch lived next door to a vacant lot. She built a woodshed and landscaping on her property that that partially encroached on that vacant lot. For seven years, the owners of the lot never objected, but when the Harrisons bought the lot in 2001, a survey they had done in conjunction with the purchase revealed the encroachment. The Harrisons sued Welch to establish their title to the entire lot and to enjoin Welch’s encroachment. Welch responded by seeking to establish title in the encroachment area by a prescriptive easement to maintain the woodshed and the landscaping. The trial court held for the Harrisons. Welch appealed. What do you think should have happened on appeal and why? Harrison v. Welch, 11 Cal. Rptr. 3d 92 (Cal. Ct. App. 2004).
