Niemi v. Fredlund Township
Annotate this CaseThis case involved a dispute over a road located on property owned by David and Roxie Niemi in Fredlund Township. The Neimis brought suit against the Township seeking a declaratory judgment that the portion of Lewton Road that traverses their property is not a public road. After a trial, the circuit court concluded that the Niemis and their predecessors in interest had dedicated the road to the public by implication. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the circuit court did not when in ruling that the entire length of the disputed roadway was a public road by operation of an implied common-law dedication.
