Does an individual who knowingly makes improvements on the land of another individual, without their consent, have the right to obtain reimbursement for such improvements?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from In re Jackson Tanker Corp., 69 BR 850 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1987):
As a corollary of this principle, it is equally well settled that where an individual knowingly makes improvements on the land of another, without the latter's fault or consent, an equity court will not permit the former to remove or obtain reimbursement for such improvements, notwithstanding the benefit conferred upon the landowner. Laible v. Ferry, 32 N.J.Eq. 791, 801 (1880).
