12. A man conveyed the eastern half of a tract of vacant land to a woman by a warranty deed. The woman promptly recorded the deed. The land conveyed to the woman fronted on a public highway. The land retained by the man was landlocked. One year later, the man died intestate, leaving a cousin as his only heir. The cousin visited the man’s land for the first time and discovered that it had no access to a public highway. A neighbor who owned adjoining land fronting on the public highway offered to sell the cousin a right to cross the neighbor’s land for access to the highway. Although the neighbor’s price was reasonable, the cousin rejected the offer. The woman has refused to allow the cousin to cross her land for access to the public highway even though the woman’s land is still vacant. The cousin has sued the woman, seeking access across the woman’s land to the public highway. Who is likely to prevail?

Peter аnd Dаn were bоth elected bоаrd members in the hоmeowner’s association for the neighborhood where they resided. Peter was the secretary and Dan was treasurer. Peter and Dan had become friends while serving on the board together. Therefore, it had become their custom to meet at one of their homes one evening per month after work to sign checks for expenses payable by the homeowner’s association as the checks required both of their signatures. As planned, one evening, Peter went to Dan’s home to sign checks. Dan met Peter at the front door of Peter’s home and opened the door for him. As Peter stepped forward to enter the home, Peter stepped on the threshold of the front door and it suddenly cracked and broke causing Peter to fall forward into the entry way of Peter’s home. In attempting to catch himself, Peter extended his right hand and arm. As Peter’s hand impacted the floor, Peter’s right wrist was broken. Dan had not been aware prior to Peter’s fall that the threshold was damaged. Dan called the paramedics and Peter was transported to the hospital emergency room for treatment. After his wrist and had was placed in a cast, Peter was admitted to the hospital for overnight observation. The following morning, the hospital served Peter breakfast. However, the food served to Peter was contaminated causing Peter to become very ill. In a suit by Peter against Dan, analyze fully all issues involved in any and all causes of action available to Peter, and determine for which injuries Dan should be liable to Peter, if any.
