Cedar Beach/Cedar Island Supporters, Inc. v. Gables Real Estate LLC
Annotate this CaseClaimants, members of the public, brought an action seeking a declaratory judgment that the public had acquired a prescriptive easement over a parcel of property known as Cedar Beach Road owned by Gables Real Estate LLC. After a bench trial, the superior court entered judgment declaring that the public had acquired a prescriptive easement over Cedar Beach Road. The Supreme Judicial Court vacated the judgment of the superior court, holding that Claimants failed to establish the element of adversity, and Gables Real Estate established nonacquiescence, thereby defeating Claimants’ action for recognition of a public prescriptive easement as a matter of law.
