What is hermesmann v. seyer?

Hermesmann v. Seymer is a legal case that was heard by the Supreme Court of Illinois in 1933. The case involved a dispute between two neighbors over the ownership of a strip of land that lay between their properties. The plaintiff, Hermesmann, claimed that he owned the land based on adverse possession, while the defendant, Seymer, argued that he was the rightful owner according to the original survey of the area.

The Supreme Court ultimately ruled in favor of the plaintiff, finding that he had satisfied all the requirements for adverse possession and therefore was the rightful owner of the disputed land. This case serves as an important precedent for determining ownership rights in cases of adverse possession.
