Champie v. Castle Hot Springs Co

In Champie v. Castle Hot Springs Co., 27 Ariz. 463, 233 P. 1107 (1925), the plaintiff had filed a trespass action against the defendant, alleging he competed with the plaintiff's stables by bringing horses onto the plaintiff's property and renting them to the plaintiff's customers. The trial court permanently enjoined the defendant from taking his horses onto the plaintiff's property despite his claim that the property was a public road created by prescription. On review, the supreme court rejected the notion that public roadways could be created by prescription.
