<p class="MsoNormal">PC has been threatened with a quiet title action by the owner of a vacant/unimproved lot neighboring PC's property. The neighbor has been using a portion of PC's property to dump garbage/junk/broken down vehicles/etc for decades. The issue
 I am wrestling with is whether a person can claim that they had "actual possession" of a disputed portion of property when their use of the property was technically unlawful (local zoning disallows use of vacant land as a junkyard, and neighbor is now being
 threatened by city with daily fines for violating solid waste disposal requirements)? I recall seeing a case that stood for the proposition that one cannot claim adverse possession through unlawful use, but I cannot seem to find that case. Does this ring a
 bell with anyone else or does anyone have any thoughts on this?<u></u><u></u></p><div><div class="h5">
