City of Norfolk v. Pretty Lake 5757 LLC — Ejectment and Land Dispute Affirmed

The Court of Appeals of Virginia affirmed the Circuit Court of the City of Norfolk's judgment in a land dispute between the City of Norfolk and Pretty Lake 5757 LLC. The appellate court upheld findings that the City's adverse possession claim failed, the statute of limitations defense for ejectment claims was not adequately pled, the City's right of way was limited to public transportation use, and the City did not adequately prove compensation for improvements. The court also affirmed exclusion of witnesses as no abuse of discretion.
