Adverse Possession Leading to Land Ownership and Liability
Order 4 concerning adverse possession of land, involving the actions of Mr. Dam and Mr. Kao, Mr. Dam petitioned the court to compel Mr. Dam to transfer ownership of the land to Mr. Kao. Mr. Dam, fearing loss of the land to Mr. Kao, transferred the land to Mr. Red. Mr. Red subsequently purchased the land on consignment for a period of three months. Upon expiration of the consignment period, Mr. Dam failed to redeem the land. The court ruled that Mr. Kao obtained ownership of the aforementioned land parcel. The consignment agreement between Mr. Dam and Mr. Red was determined by the court, pursuant to the court’s judgment, that Mr. Red feared loss of the land, therefore, he entered into a loan agreement with Mr. Yellow, without prior consultation. Mr. Yellow then filed a claim for the loan amount against the court, resulting in an agreement to execute a reconciliation agreement. The court ruled in favor of Mr. Yellow as a creditor, as per the judgment. Mr. Yellow subsequently instructed officials to enforce the lawsuit and seize the land parcel, selling it at auction. Therefore, were Mr. Dam, Mr. Red, and Mr. Yellow liable for any offenses?
Regarding the consignment of land between Mr. Dam, the landowner, and Mr. Red, while the court still had jurisdiction, the court issued a judgment ordering Mr. Kao, the adverse possessor of the land parcel, to continue his adverse possession. Mr. Kao’s adverse possession of the land parcel did not create a debt for Mr. Dam, but rather was a legal basis for Mr. Kao to obtain ownership of the aforementioned land. When Mr. Dam continued his action of selling the land to Mr. Red, it was not an offense for Mr. Kao, pursuant to the Penal Code Section 350 (5 points). Following the court’s judgment to revoke the consignment agreement between Mr. Red, Mr. Red was indebted as per the judgment, which required him to return the land to Mr. Kao, registered under Mr. Kao’s name. This resulted in Mr. Kao becoming a creditor, and he entered into a loan agreement with Mr. Yellow without genuine agreement, and Mr. Yellow filed a claim for the loan amount against the court. Subsequently, Mr. Red and Mr. Yellow agreed to a reconciliation agreement, and Mr. Yellow instructed officials to enforce the actions. Therefore, Mr. Red and Mr. Yellow were liable for offenses, selling the land at auction, pursuant to the Penal Code Section 350, 83 (5 points).
