Property law 2025 NSSC 374

Stutzinger v. Blecker

The deed grants a broad 66-foot right of way allowing vehicular and pedestrian access at any point; the respondent's placement of large, immovable boulders adjacent to the applicants' property prevented vehicle access to part of the dominant tenement and therefore constituted an unreasonable and substantial interference with the easement.
