Legislative History
(1949 Rev., S. 7131; P.A. 79-602, S. 57.) History: P.A. 79-602 made minor changes in wording but made no substantive changes. Cited. 140 C. 370; 142 C. 296; 143 C. 40. Trial court properly determined that boundary line agreement did not constitute notice of intent to prevent airport defendant from acquiring an easement and, therefore, did not prevent airport defendants from acquiring a prescriptive easement in the land trust properties. 275 C. 105. None of defendant's actions, including the posting of “no trespassing” signs, was sufficient to interrupt plaintiff's continuous use of property. 296 C. 43. Cited. 40 CS 272.
