Over the years, Staley often expressed concern that when the Taylors built their house, they could block her view. They said they would not.

The defendants wanted to apply reasonable principles in search of specific performance of the contract. The disposition of the immediate motion for partial summary judgment and objection was controlled. “The court found that although the doctrine of mutuality of remedies may be alive and well in Virginia in actions at law for damages, that was not the case where, regardless of a lack of support of remedy at the time the contract was created, complete performance may, if revealed, afford a party specific performance of the contract for the sale of land.”

The main legal issue to examine regarding this case deals with encroachment, which is simply defined as: A possessory right to the property of another that may be acquired by the passage of time. Crockett has well documented existence of the woodlot property dating back over 20 years and was not met with objection on the part of the Smith, who is the true owner. Due to the fact that the plantiff left the defendant undisturbed for over 20 years, he lost his right to dispute to object the encroachment. Smith would have had to make his objections known regarding Crockett’s occupancy in the log cabin, constructed on his wood lot, many years earlier if he wanted to maintain his right to object.

While abandoned buildings are familiar to most people, a generally accepted definition of an abandoned building, per se, has not been established (Shane, 2012). Because the term abandoned building means many things to different people, it is generally most effective to use a more inclusive definition (Shane, 2012). A swath of terms is associated with the idea of an abandoned building, such as property, lot, vacant, temporarily vacant, empty, dilapidated, and hazardous. These terms point to important considerations about whether a building is actually abandoned or just vacant for a time, for instance, while repairs are scheduled and made, or because the house serves as a seasonal residence (Shane, 2012). Typically, three conditions are associated with the classification of an abandoned building: (1) The owner can no longer claim property rights, (2) the property must have been vacant for some time, and (3) the building is considered a health hazard or a hazard to community welfare (Shane, 2012).

The quitclaim deed holds the statement that the person named (and whose signature the property bears) has quit ownership of the property listed and conveys it to the person who holds the quitclaim deed (grantee). The quitclaim offers no guarantee. In fact, someone with no ownership whatsoever is able to file a quitclaim on a property. This is usually done with the intent to commit fraud by selling someone “zero” ownership to a piece of property. If the claim is wrong, there is no legal remedy. The one holding the fraudulent quitclaim is simply left with no ownership for their money spent.

In the Civil Code of Article 284, its states that it is imperative to understand that in case of doubt "good faith" is presumed on the side of the squatters. These inhabitants can take advantage of adverse possession devices in laws permitting occupants to receive title to unused farmland.
