Martha’s Vineyard Land Bank Commission v. Taylor
About This Legal Opinion
After conducting a bench trial, the judge found that the Taylors' and their guests' past use of the Steamboat Landing path was effectively undetectable due to the remote and thickly wooded character of the parcel, and thus was not 'notorious' as the law required for establishing a prescriptive easement.
