The Doctrine Of Lost Modern Grant And Prescriptive Easements In Newfoundland, Greg French Oct 2016

The Doctrine Of Lost Modern Grant And Prescriptive Easements In Newfoundland, Greg French

Dalhousie Law Journal

This article examines the history and development of prescriptive easements in Newfoundland and Labrador and the legal standards required to find such an easement to exist. The article concludes that the appropriate inquiry is not merely an examination of the length of use, but also the nature and extent of use, and that rigid application of timelines should not apply.
