Bob's Ready to Wear, Inc. v. Weaver

The Eversoles originally owned two commercial buildings sharing a rear parking lot, with both buildings accessible from the front and from the lot. They sold one building to the Parmans (plaintiffs), who ran Bob's Ready to Wear and also bought an adjoining 20-foot strip behind their store, and sold the other to the Weavers (defendants), while keeping the parking lot itself. When the Weavers later bought the parking lot and fenced off Bob's access to it, the Parmans sued for a declaratory judgment recognizing an implied easement over the lot. The trial court denied the easement, and the Parmans appealed.
