Prompt

Read the news story posted with this week's material: Oregon Court of Appeals Reverses Country Lane vs. Railroad Ruling.  Albany Democrat Herald, June 15, 2019.

• Why did the Country Lane residents not have an easement to cross the railroad tracks when the land became residential lots (look all the way back to how the son got the land compared to the daughter)?
• Why were the Country Lane residents not able to prove to the Oregon Court of Appeals that they have a prescriptive easement? Use facts from the case applied to the elements of a prescriptive easement.
• How can the Country Lane residents get the right to cross the railroad tracks to get to their own land now?
• Compare to Rafanelli v. Dale. Is this the same kind of situation?
