AC46367 - Hamer v. Byrne ("This appeal centers on three adjacent properties located in Westport. The plaintiffs, Christopher J. Hamer and Cynthia Hamer, appeal from the judgment of the trial court rendered in favor of the defendants, Janis Melone, Marian Byrne, Jack Precious, and Rachel Precious, on all but one portion of one count of the plaintiffs' cause of action. In their appeal, the plaintiffs claim that the court erred in (1) denying the plaintiffs' claim that Marian improperly erected a spite fence; (2) not awarding the plaintiffs damages in connection with the construction of the spite fence; (3) not ordering the removal of Janis' mailbox, Janis' fence, and Marian's mailbox from the easement area; and (4) finding that the plaintiffs had not sustained their burden and proven their cause of action for adverse possession. The Byrnes cross appeal from the judgment of the court, rendered in part in favor of the plaintiffs, on the Byrnes' counterclaim. In their cross appeal, the Byrnes claim that the court erred in (1) failing to find that Christopher's actions constituted the commission of a prima facie tort and (2) awarding only nominal damages to Rachel and Jack with respect to their vexatious litigation claim. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.")
