Supreme Court of California

In an action to quiet title brought after plaintiffs learned that a portion of certain commercial property they owned had been sold at a tax sale, a court of appeals' ruling finding that action was barred by the statute of limitations is reversed where, contrary to the court of appeals' ruling, the quiet title action was timely filed because plaintiffs were in undisturbed possession of the property until they received notice that a portion of their property had been sold, and the one-year statute of limitations did not begin to run until that time.
