Alaska Supreme Court
John Reeves and Fairbanks Gold Co., LLC, Appellants and Cross-Appellees v. Godspeed Properties, LLC and Gold Dredge…
January 26, 2018411 P.3d 560
Summary
The court affirmed that the 1986 deed created an appurtenant easement benefiting the adjoining parcel. It held that the gold-processing plant prescriptively extinguished only the portion of the easement it occupied, while temporary mining-related obstructions did not extinguish the remainder. The court reversed the conclusion that the entire easement was extinguished and remanded to determine the plant's precise encroachment.
