How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• reversing judgment for prescriptive easement involving informal center road built by original owner of all lots
• discussing the importance of who constructed the road and the inference that is created
• more inferable that use was pursuant to a “friendly arrangement” where servient owner constructs the road
• “Even if the parties had intended to create an easement to use the center road for ingress and egress to the properties, they could not have intended to create an easement over property that the McLains no longer owned.”
