Conservation Commission of the Town of Fairfield v. Dimaria

About This Legal Opinion

The appellate court dismissed the appeal as moot, because the defendant had already removed the fill during the course of the appeal. This case serves as another example of how easement parties can be tripped up over the terms 'farming' and 'agriculture,' especially in connection with livestock.
