Cal. Code Regs. tit. 23 § 777

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 49, December 6, 2024

Section 777 - Right of Access over Lands Where Title is Disputed

The board will not undertake to determine title to land or the right to occupy or use land or other property. A dispute concerning applicant's title or right to occupy or use land or other property necessary for consummation of the proposed appropriation is not cause for denial of an application. A protest based solely upon such disputed title or right will ordinarily be rejected as not presenting an issue within the board's jurisdiction; provided that the board may temporarily defer action on an application pending judicial determination of applicant's title or right to occupy or use property when in the board's judgment such action is justified.
