Chandler Flyers, Inc. (plaintiff) owned a parcel within a residential development built by Stellar Development Corporation (defendant) that included a small private airport for residents who commuted by plane. Chandler wanted to run a flight school and sued for an easement by necessity over other lots so planes could travel from its parcel to the airport, even though its parcel already had ordinary access via a public highway. The trial court ruled for Stellar, and Chandler appealed.
IssueFree
Whether a court will impose an easement of necessity only if the easement is required to provide reasonable access to the property.
