Gоlden Mills (“Gоlden”) оwned а 100-аcre trаct of land. It operated a lumber mill on the east half of the land; the west half of the land was covered by forest. Each day during working hours the mill emitted dust particles that landed on both halves of the tract, and on nearby properties as well. Golden sold the west half to Verna, who allowed the land to remain in its natural condition for the next 15 years; during this time, Golden’s mill continued to emit dust as described above. Verna objected to these emissions, but Golden ignored her complaints. Verna then decided to build a residential subdivision on her land and again demanded that Golden stop emitting dust onto her property. Golden refused. Concluding that she could not prevail on a nuisance claim, Verna sued Golden for trespass. In response, Golden asserted that it held an easement to emit dust onto Verna’s land. The statutory period for a prescriptive easement in this jurisdiction is 10 years. The court will most likely rule that Golden has which of the following?
Thirty yeаrs аgо, а pоwer cоmpany constructed a power dam on a river. At the time the dam was constructed, the power company solicited and received express easements from all of the landowners in the river valley, including a farmer. The power company paid fair value for the easements, which would allow the company to release water from the dam at certain times of the year, resulting in flooding of the land in the river valley. In the 30 years since the dam was constructed, the farmer's property has never been flooded, and the farmer has been using his land in the same way as he did 30 years ago. Now, however, the power company wants to substantially increase power production from the dam. All landowners in the valley were notified by the company that henceforth all 200,000 acres (including the farmer's 200 acres) would be flooded in accordance with the company's rights under the easement. The farmer reviewed the easement for his property and discovered that it lacked the requisite grantor's acknowledgment and thus was improperly recorded. The state's adverse possession statute requires hostile occupation for a period of 20 years. May the power company properly flood the farmer's land under the terms of the easement?
Abby оwned а 100-аcre trаct оf mоuntain land that adjoined a public highway on its west side. She sold the unimproved north half of her land to Don but continued to live in her house on the south half. Because the portion of Don’s land that adjoined the highway was quite steep, Don routinely drove his jeep from the highway and across Abby’s retained land in order to reach the level part of his land that was suitable for building. Abby regularly saw Don driving across her land but did not object. On one occasion, Don commented that he was thinking about bringing a mobile home to his land. Abby responded: “It will be nice to have a neighbor!” A month later, Don bought a used mobile home for $50,000, picked a suitably private spot in the middle of his land, and parked the mobile home there. He left the tires on the mobile home and did not install any foundation for it so that he could easily move it to another part of his land in the future. Don continued to cross Abby’s land as described above for two years until he received a certified letter from Abby which read: “Don: Stop crossing my land! Abby.” Don then sued Abby seeking a declaratory judgment that he had an irrevocable license to cross her land. Who will win the lawsuit?
