Gottlieb owned a cottage lot which had frontage on a lake. He later granted a 30-metre wide right of way to Baxter, who had a lot behind his lot, to enable Baxter to reach the lakeshore to launch his power boat. The next year, Baxter built a boathouse on the 30-metre strip in which to store his boat during the winter months. When Gottlieb discovered the boathouse a few months later, he hired a bulldozer, and pushed the boathouse off the land, and into the lake. Gottlieb is the owner of the land, subject only to Baxter's right of way on the 30-metre strip of property.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gottlieb remains the owner of the land, and Baxter's right of way allows him access but does not grant him ownership or the right to construct permanent structures like a boathouse without Gottlieb's permission.
