30 U.S.C. § 32 — Findings by jury; costs

submitted 145 years ago by ch. 140 to r/title-30-MINERAL-LANDS-AND-MINING · 79 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law covers mining-claim lawsuits under section 30. If a jury can't decide who owns the disputed ground, the judgment follows that finding, and neither side gets costs. The claimant then can't get a patent until they prove their title.

This section applies to lawsuits brought under section 30 of this title over who owns a piece of mining ground. If the jury cannot determine that either party has established title to the ground, the jury must say so, and the court must enter judgment that matches that finding. When that happens, neither party gets to collect costs from the other. Also, the person claiming the ground cannot move forward at the land office, and cannot get a patent (the official document granting ownership) for that ground, until they have proven their title.

If, in any action brought pursuant to section 30 of this title, title to the ground in controversy shall not be established by either party, the jury shall so find, and judgment shall be entered according to the verdict. In such case costs shall not be allowed to either party, and the claimant shall not proceed in the land office or be entitled to a patent for the ground in controversy until he shall have perfected his title.
