3 Two unique datasets are used: one dataset is the random sample of 25% of all boundary encroachment cases resolved in the courts of first instance between 2002 and 2011 (inclusive); there are 192 observations. The other dataset is the population of all cases rendered pursuant to Article 796-1 of the Civil Code of Taiwan since it became effective in 2009; there are 157 observations. Article 796-1 gives courts the discretion to preserve the encroaching building after taking into account public interests and the interests of both parties. Using descriptive statistics and logistic regression model, this article finds that the encroaching constructions are mostly residential and non-residential buildings, rather than fixtures like fences or extensions like garages.

4 If part of the buildings encroaches the land boundary, but tearing it down would not affect the economic value of the whole building, courts would order the encroaching part removed. Courts rarely explicitly consider whether the trespasser is intentional, (grossly) negligent, or no-fault. It is difficult for the encroachers to persuade the court that the neighboring landowners fail to protest promptly. Courts consistently use the product of official land value and an ad hoc interest rate as compensation to the landowners. The official value, however, is Associate Research Professor & Deputy Director of Center for Empirical Legal Studies, Institutum Iurisprudentiae, Academia sinica .

Landowners seldom ask the trespassers to purchase the encroached land. Finally, when the area of encroachment and the encroachment ratio is low, and the encroacher is not grossly negligent, courts tend to preserve the buildings according to Article 796-1.
