Friendship Baptist Church, Inc. v. West

Supreme Court of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

Carley, Justice.

In 1993, Friendship Baptist Church brought this action for declaratory judgment against West, seeking a declaration that the Church had acquired prescriptive title to a parcel of unenclosed land adjacent to the Church measuring 15 feet by 75 feet. The trial court denied a motion for directed verdict made by the Church, and the jury returned a verdict finding that title was vested in West. The Church appeals from the judgment entered by the trial court on the jury’s verdict and enumerates as error the denial of its motion for directed verdict.
