Ferguson v. Christensen
Ferguson v. Christensen
Opinion of the Court
Appeal from a temporary injunction, later made permanent, preventing defendants from using a sewer line that without any muniments of title or permission, they dug a trench and installed therein, across 150 feet of plaintiff’s fee simple, time-honored property rights stemming from the Battle of Runnymede or King John’s indiscretions (circa 1215).
The record discloses an unagreed-to incursion into and across and over Ferguson’s farm for condominium sewage disposal purposes. Defendants, on appeal, say such a voyage over Ferguson’s property was all right, — not necessarily because it was all right, — but because Ferguson properly did not plead or prove that it was all wrong.
We think that Ferguson pleaded well enough, either under or irrespective of our Rule 65A,
We sustain the trial court. The burden is on defendants either to buy or contract for an easement or make other arrangements for disposal.
