An owner-possessor acquires ownership by continuous possession of goods:

(a): for a period of ten years, provided that the possessor, throughout the whole period, possesses in good faith; or
(b): for a period of thirty years.

For the purposes of paragraph (1)(a):

(a): a person possesses in good faith if, and only if, the person possesses in the belief of being the owner and is reasonably justified in that belief; and
(b): good faith of the possessor is presumed.

Acquisition of ownership by continuous possession is excluded for a person who obtained possession by stealing the goods.
