Martin Robinson, Paula Robinson, Tom Robinson, and Laura Robinson v. Central Iowa Power Cooperative; Coggon Solar…

Summary

The court affirmed summary judgment rejecting the Robinsons’ claims to a fixed-route drainage easement and an access-and-repair right over neighboring properties. The court held that the Robinsons had only a natural drainage easement requiring the servient estates to accept drainage without causing injury, and that the record showed neither actionable drainage damage nor a viable nuisance claim. The court also upheld the quiet-title judgment and the statutory attorney-fee award.
