Doctrine of Acquiescence

The Doctrine of Acquiescence is a legal principle that prevents someone from claiming a right or ownership over property if they have knowingly accepted or tolerated another person's use or possession of that property over a significant period. Essentially, if the owner doesn't object or take action for a long time, it can be interpreted as acceptance, making it difficult to later assert their rights. This doctrine underscores the importance of prompt objections to preserve legal rights and prevent potential claims based on long-standing, unnoticed, or unchallenged conduct.
