[Daniel Berner]

Another recent case came out of Division One regarding neighborly accommodation and is published: http://www.courts.wa.gov/opinions/index.cfm?fa=opinions.showOpinion&filename=766201MAJ

Worth the read and provides some clarification on neighborly accommodation and prescriptive rights.

Subject: [WSBARP] neighborly accommodation and adverse possession

New case, on first read, seems to graft the prescriptive easement doctrine of neighborly accommodation leading to a presumption of permission, to adverse possession cases. Unpub Div 3, Jacobs v. Roberts:

However, the failure to address the presumption of permissive use also infected the adverse possession claim. Consent is fatal to the hostility element of adverse possession. E.g., Chaplin, 100 Wn.2d at 861-862. How the evidence relating to neighborly accommodation played out in the other causes of action, if it even was considered, is unclear.
