Tu Junga Co. v. Barclay – Partition Action Case Study
In the legal case of Tu Junga Co. v. Barclay, 11 Cal.App. 60 (1909), the issue of partition was at the center of the dispute. The case involved a dispute between two parties over the ownership of a parcel of land. The plaintiff, Tu Junga Co., claimed that it owned the land, while the defendant, Barclay, claimed that he owned a portion of the land. The court had to determine whether the land should be divided into two separate parcels, with each party owning a portion, or whether the land should remain undivided and both parties should own the entire parcel. The court ultimately ruled that the land should remain undivided and that both parties should own the entire parcel. This decision was based on the fact that the parties had been in possession of the land for a long period of time and had made improvements to the land, which would be difficult to divide.
