Carolyn Vickers, Inc. v. Unocal
A parcel of property was contaminated by an oil leak from a pipeline in 1981. The owner sold the property without disclosing the contamination. The property was sold again in 2006. In 2007, the owner learned of the contamination and filed a lawsuit against the oil companies who operated the pipeline. They demurred on the ground that the action was barred by a three-year statute of limitations for injury to real property. (Code Civ. Proc., § 338, subd., (b).) The trial court sustained the demurrer without leave to amend. We affirm.
