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?
Betty оwned а 100-аcre trаct, which cоnsisted оf 80 acres of vacant dry land surrounding a 20-acre manmade lake called “Fish Lake.” She subdivided the land into 81 parcels: 80 one-acre lots adjoining the lake and the 20-acre lake parcel. Betty’s advertising campaign to sell the lots included TV ads that urged viewers to “buy a lot at Fish Lake Estates, where you can fish from your own backyard!” Carl and 79 other buyers purchased one-acre lots in the development from Betty; each of these buyers received a warranty deed which provided, among other things: “It is agreed that Fish Lake will be maintained as a lake in perpetuity and shall be restricted and limited to lake use forever.” Carl and the other buyers all built homes on their lots and regularly fished in the lake. Betty then sold the lake parcel to Dave. Betty did not tell Dave that there were any restrictions on his right to use the lake parcel; Dave inspected the lake parcel before he bought, and noticed people fishing there, but did not ask them any questions. Two months after buying the lake parcel, Dave drained the lake and announced his intention to subdivide the parcel into 20 one-acre lots. Carl filed suit against Dave, seeking to enforce the restriction as an equitable servitude to force him to fill the lake bed with water and maintain it as a lake. Who will win the lawsuit?
