Childers v. Arrowood

Summary

The Oklahoma Supreme Court held that Oklahoma’s statutory phrase “private ways of necessity” under 27 O.S. § 6 includes utility easements when such utilities are necessary for the effective use and reasonable enjoyment of land. The Court affirmed the trial court’s grant of a utility easement to the Childers and remanded for determination of any undue burden on the Arrowood property and appropriate compensation.
