EVIDENCE LAW — Trespass to Land — Proof — Title or Ownership Not Required Where Claim Based on Possession

In an action for trespass, the plaintiff need not prove title or ownership; it is sufficient to prove possession of the land at the time of the trespass. The defendant cannot require the plaintiff to produce title documents or prove ownership to maintain a trespass action. The focus is on possession, not radical title. This principle simplifies trespass claims and ensures that possessors can protect their interest without proving ownership.
