Lytle v. Lind - Split-Rail Fence Unreasonably Interfered With Easement Right-of-Way

The Maine Supreme Judicial Court reversed a York County Superior Court partial summary judgment in Lytle v. Lind, holding that a split-rail fence installed by the Linds within a ten-foot-wide right-of-way easement unreasonably interfered with the neighbors' easement rights as a matter of law. The fence ran parallel to the common boundary along the center of the right-of-way, dividing it into two portions and obstructing the path used by neighbors to access the Webhannet River with water-sports equipment.
