Cannon v. Stevens green
ark · 1908
1 sentence

1999As this court stated in Cannon, 88 Ark. at 613 , “Merely setting [an adverse-possession defense] forth in the answer did not defeat the jurisdiction of the court.” Thus, until such time as evidence of adverse possession is presented, a transfer to circuit court on a theory of ejectment is premature, as the legitimacy of any potential claim is pure speculation.
