Roy v. Euro-Holland Vastgoed, B.V.
District Court of Appeal of Florida
404 So.2d 410 (1981)
- Written by Rocco Sainato, JD
Facts
In 1913, Henry Buckman partitioned his land, so as to create a situation in which one of the divided plots did not have access to a public road. He then sold the two lots created by the division to separate buyers. Eventually, Maurice and Lillian Roy (plaintiffs) acquired the plot of land that did not have access to the public road. They then brought a suit against the owners of the land that did have access to the road, Euro-Holland Vasgoed, B.V. (defendant), to set aside an easement for ingress and egress from their land. The trial court determined that an implied easement did not exist. The Roys then appealed to the District Court of Appeal of Florida.
