Supreme Court of Wisconsin
50 N.W.2d 920 (1952)
Relevant factsFree
Tisch obtained a prescriptive easement over Kresge's (plaintiff) alley solely for access to his own adjacent lot; after Winkelman (defendant) bought Tisch's lot and began using the alley to access both that lot and other adjoining lots he already owned, Kresge sued to limit the easement's use to only the Tisch lot, and the trial court granted that injunction while declining Kresge's request to bar all alley use entirely.
IssueFree
Whether, under Wisconsin law, a prescriptive easement can be used to access property other than the property to which the easement is appurtenant.
