The appellant failed to prove the necessary factual possession and animus possidendi for the 20-year limitation period. The acts relied on were equivocal, often constituted ordinary management duties or individual, temporary uses, and did not amount to single and exclusive possession to exclude the paper title owner; therefore no adverse possession or dispossession occurred and the respondent's title remains intact.
