Supreme Court of Canada grants Toronto couple ownership of disputed backyard portion

The Supreme Court of Canada ruled a Toronto couple owns a disputed portion of their backyard, previously held by the city. The couple discovered the city held title to part of their yard, which they had maintained and used for years. They sought ownership through adverse possession after the city refused to sell. The Supreme Court found the city's title to the land was extinguished over forty years ago, overturning lower court decisions.
