Right-of-Way Abandonment and Prescriptive Easement Claim
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe court addressed whether a party's continued use of a right-of-way, despite its documented abandonment by a predecessor, established a prescriptive easement by showing open, notorious, continuous, adverse, and permissive use for the statutory period, which required examining the totality of the circumstances, including inconsistent acts by the predecessor and the current owner's failure to clearly assert adverse intent, ultimately concluding that the use was not sufficiently adverse to ripen into a prescriptive right because it was permissive or acquiesced to by the servient estate owners.
