Easements

I was the first to arrive and build on a dominant flag lot. I installed electricity. A neighbor then bought the servient property and tied in. I asked for half of the installation expenses for the portion they are using. They refused. One of the articles in the CCRs says that the developer will install the line and each purchaser of lot shall bear the expense to install the secondary line. I sued in small claims under 'enforcement of CCRs and unjust enrichment.' It was established that a portion of the line is not in the utility easement but in the ROW. The servient lot owner uses that as a defense. I lost in small claims. I am told that this is a very common outcome here in our rural community and that the reason I lost was because I should have presented the case with the same set of facts using the theory of Contribution. I have appealed, hoping to represent that way. If I were to disconnect from the line and establish new service from an easement on a different lot, that would cure the defective installation. Could I then sue for unjust enrichment for the full amount under the premise that I accidentally installed a line that I would never be able to use?

If you are a land developer and your projects include some of the largest residential subdivisions within the city and your business was developing the infrastructure of its newest and largest subdivision and the city discovered an easement for the city utility line on the subdivision that does not belong to the land developer and the property owner discovered the error also, and both parties are threatening to sue the land developer for fraud against municipality,damages to the property and trespassing, however the adjacent property owner is a citizen of Switzerland. How would you identify the stages and processes for reviewing the situation in civil court?

Can a person who has already given consent to a right of way on his property, stop a person authorized to go on to another persons land on that right of way?

What is the legal right of way for railroad track easements in the state of Georgia? I have heard that it is now 500 feet which would take almost all of my land; is this correct?

A Brick 2ft x 6ft Barbecue pit was built on property "A" 30 yrs ago. Four different residents have lived at Property "A." The most recent is 14 years. Property " B" believes that 1 ft of the BBQ pit is on his property. An official land survey agrees. Property " A" states that "prescriptive easement" entitles him to keep the BBQ pit and not remove it from property line. The prescriptive easement term is 15 years in Michigan. Does the 15 years prescriptive easement include the predecessors of property " A" or just the recent owner of 14 years of property "A"?
