VanSandt v. Trivedi
Arvind and Radha Trivedi (the Trivedis) appeal from a judgment of the trial court, which quieted title in a dispute over the proper boundary line between the Trivedis' real property and real property owned by Dennis, Dorothy and Joanne VanSandt (the VanSandts).[1] The Trivedis argue (1) that the trial court exceeded its jurisdiction by amending the judgment to correct a clerical mistake under Code of Civil Procedure[2]section 473, subdivision (d); (2) that the amended judgment is void because it contains an insufficient description of the real property awarded to the VanSandts; and (3) that substantial evidence does not support the trial court's application of the agreed-boundary doctrine, under which it quieted title in favor of the VanSandts. As Court explain, Court conclude that the amended judgment is void because it contains an insufficient description of the subject real property. Accordingly, Court vacate the judgment and Cortfyremand with directions for the trial court to enter judgment containing an adequate description of the subject real property.
