Schulz v. Dania
Florida District Court of Appeal
156 So. 2d 520 (1963)
- Written by Alex Ruskell, JD
Facts
Schulz (plaintiff) owned riparian land on the Atlantic Ocean that gradually disappeared by erosion. The City of Dania (defendant) owned the land adjoining the western portion of Schulz’s land, which became bordered by the ocean once Schulz’s land disappeared. Schulz sued the city, arguing that he retained rights to the submerged land and that he would regain land rights should his missing land reappear through accretion. The court ruled in the city’s favor, finding that Schulz had lost all riparian rights in his submerged land to the city and would therefore have no rights even if the land were restored. Schulz appealed.
