Real Property Essay To answer the question of whether Teri can stop Kevin from using his colonial as an art gallery, we need to look to the law of equitable servitudes. This is because Teri seeks an injunction to stop Kevin from using the colonial as a business. Like real covenants, equitable servitudes restrict the right to use land. If there is an equitable servitude in place, Teri will be able to restrict Kevin's right to use the land. However, there are several elements needed for an equitable servitude to be in existence. For an equitable servitude to be enforced at equity, there must be (1) an intent for the restriction to be enforceable by successors-in-interest for the benefit to run and enforceable against successors-in-interest for the burden to run; (2) he person against whom the servitude is to be enforced must have notice (whether actual, record, or inquiry notice)

of the servitude; and (3) The servitude must touch and concern the land. There is NO privity requirement for equitable servitudes. In apply the facts to the law, we see that the situation satisfies step one in that Paul made a promise to Teri that the colonial would not be used for any

other purpose other than a family dwelling and that the contract would be binding to Phil's heirs and successors. Step two is also satisfied on two accounts. First, the contract is properly recorded with the Register of Deeds, and second Teri tells Kevin outright that the contract between her

and Phil totally prohibited Kevin from using the colonial as anything other than a family dwelling. Lastly, touch and concern is satisfied in that the equitable servitude certainly affects both the promisee and promisor as owners of the land, it completely dictates how the land is

used. Given that all the steps are satisfied completely, it seems highly likely that there is an equitable servitude in place and Teri would be able to enforce an injunction to stop Kevin. To answer whether Kevin and his patrons have future use of the driveway, we now need to look to the law of easements. An easement is the right held by one person to make specific, limited use of land owned by another. The land that is subject to the easement is the servient estate, whereas the land that benefits from an easement on a servient estate is the dominant estate. Easements can be created in several different ways, and it is of no consequence that there was never an actual grant of right for Phil to use the driveway that passed over Teri's land. More importantly is the fact that Teri allowed her brother to use the driveway during his ownership of the colonial. Given this fact, there is possibly an easement created by implication for Kevin. An easement by implication exists if an earlier owner previously used an easement on the servient estate. In these situations, the court may find the parties intended the easement to continue if the prior use was continuous, apparent (open and obvious), and reasonably necessary to the dominant land's use and enjoyment. Because Phil was seemingly an open and obvious user of

the driveway (Teri willingly allowed him to use it), and the use of the driveway is reasonably necessary for the use and enjoyment of the land (can't get to State Street without it), it seems

likely that Kevin will be able to establish that there is an easement created by implication and he and his patrons will be able to use the driveway if he is successful in creating his business.

/

Question 1: (1). Teri can stop Kevin from using his colonial as an art gallery because of the covenant entered

into prevwously between Teri and Phil. A covenant is a mechanism used in deeds to restrict the right to use the land in some way. For a covenant to run with the land, the elements to be met are that the convent must be in writing, with intent for it to run, covenant must touch and concern the land, and there must be notice to a subsequent purchaser. Here, the covenant is m writing by way of a contract

between Teri and Phil. The intent for the covenant to run is explicitly mentioned in the contract as it is binding on Phil's heirs and successors. The covenant touches and concerns the land because the effect

of the covenant is not limited to the individuals (Terri or Phil) but pertains to the land and mandates that the land will not be used for anything but a family dwelling. Finally, Kevin has actual and constructive knowledge because of the fact that the convent has been recorded with the Register of Deeds (constructive knowledge) and Teri explicitly told Kevin of the covenant. Therefore, since the elements for a covenant to run with the land are satisfied, Teri can stop Kevin from using his colonial as an art gallery.

(2). Kevin and his potential patrons have the right to use the driveway as an appurtenant easement by implication. An easement is the right held by one person to make specific, limited use of land owned by another. The land that is burdened by the easement is called the servient estate; while the land that benefits from the easement is called the dominate estate. An appurtenant easement runs with the land and Is presumed to do so unless there are clear facts to the contrary. An easement by implication is created when the easement was previously used on the servient estate by an earlier owner, and from that Courts will find that the easement continues if the prior use was continuous, apparent, and reasonably necessary to the dominant land's use and enjoyment. Here, Kevm's land would be considered the dominant estate; while Teri's land would be considered the servient estate.

The easement is an easement by implication because the facts show that Phil had used the easement sine purchasing the land up untd he sold the land the Kevin, which satisfies the elements of continues and apparent (open and obvious use). Moreover, the easement is necessary to the dominant land

(Kevin's land) because Kevin and his patrons must use the land to get to Main Street and it doesn't sound like there are other options to reach mare roads without the driveway. Therefore, Kevin and his patrons will be able to use the driveway as an easement by imphcation. However, Teri may attempt to argue that her verbal cancellation of the easement to Kevin was sufficient to terminate the easement. Easements can be terminated by the doctrines of release, merger, severance, abandonment, destruction and condemnation, prescrwption, estoppel, or sale to a bona fide purchaser. Here, none these terminations doctrines are satisfied. The best argument for Teri is release

(a writing that expressly releases the easement rights), however her attempted cancellation was verbal and not in writing, which would not satisfy the terminatlon. Therefore, the easement was not terminated and Kevin has access to the use of the easement.

Why People Travel

...them to their destination. Many individuals travel for celebrations like weddings, births, and even funerals (Merith, 2009). My favorite reason to travel is for relaxation. My husband and I travel a few times each year for romantic getaway weekends. The pressures of our jobs, the lack of privacy in our home, and the need for a quiet place to relax without the obligations of parenthood are just a few of the reasons we have for traveling. We have a favorite hotel where we enjoy spending the weekends away. We are there so often the staff knows us by name. The property is a Wyndham historic hotel that has been restored to its former glory. The restaurant, The Dancing Goat, serves elegant meals in a cozy atmosphere and the piano bar offers a late night opportunity for dancing and romance.

Courtroom Observation

...a summary judgment to John Daniels who was the bartender at O’Malley’s Tavern. The Plaintiff is seeking damages from the defendant, Patrick Gibbs and O’Malley’s tavern stating that Mr. Gibbs had knowledge of Mr. Hard’s intoxication. The Indiana Law. Ind Code Ann 7.1-5-10-15.5 2006 does require that a defendant have actual knowledge in order to recover damages. Constructive knowledge does not satisfy the presumption, only subjective knowledge. Circumstantial evidences cannot support constructive knowledge, but only actual knowledge. According to the 7th circuit court of Indiana, visible acts of intoxication are subjective. The bartender himself only saw Mr. Hard sitting on a stool drinking whiskey which is not an uncommon occurrence in a bar. The case that was cited in the courtroom, the Ash Lock case (Ashlock v. Norris, 475 N.E.2d 1167, 1170 Ind. Ct. App. 1985) was not as severe as this case. This specific bartender at O’Malley’s Tavern did not have actual knowledge of Mr. Hard’s intoxication levels. He did not notice the altercation Mr. Hart had with Mr. White at the door nor did he notice Mr. Hard tripping over a pool stick. These specific inferences were after the last drink was served therefore this defendant considers this actual knowledge. Common law prior to the 1988 at the Supreme Court Statue does allow constructive knowledge for inferences and the...

...representing Mrs. White are Amanda Babbitt and Jackson Walsh. The attorneys for the defendants are Benjamin Walton and Jordan Van Meter.   Courtroom Observation Case White v. Gibbs The lawsuit arose from an incident where Mrs. White and her husband Bruno were having dinner at O’Malley’s Tavern. On that night there was another patron at the bar, Edward Hard, who was also Mrs. White’s ex-fiancé. During the court case we find out that Mr. Hard had shown a lot of animosity toward the White’s due to Mr. Hard and Mrs. White’s previous relationship. There was also a former altercation between Mr. White and Mr. Hard, and even though this had been resolved, Mr. Hard still showed this animosity. On this night, Mr. Hard had a bill from O’Malley’s Tavern in which he was charged for purchasing 13 alcoholic drinks. According to the record 11 of these alcoholic drinks were served in a very short period of time, and the bartender claims that Mr. Hard never showed any signs of public intoxication. According to Mrs. White there was a time when Mr. Hard had left his seat and proceeded to trip and fall over a pool cue. He got up and stumbled back to the bar and sat back down. According to Mrs. White this was not witnessed...

Case Study

...301 In the case of Mrs. White and the O’Malley Tavern I would say that of course Mr. Hard is at fault for drinking and driving, but I also feel that O’Malley’s Tavern is also at fault for over serving a customer to the point of excessive intoxication. The facts of the case were very clear cut and obvious to me. The bartender at O’Malley’s Tavern served Mr. Hard six beverages within the last half hour he was at the bar. On the tab Mr. Hard paid it showed that he ordered 13 drinks and that 11 of them were consumed by Mr. Hard. His blood alcohol content was at a .20, which is two times the legal limit of .08. Being in the medical field and also being a Command Drug and Alcohol Program Advisor for the Navy I know that at a .20 there is no way you are of sound mind to do anything. Usually a person with this Blood alcohol content are confused, they need help completing tasks (standing, walking, using the bathroom), they are between 50-100 times more likely to get into an accident, and they are very close to being incoherent. At 7:43pm Mr. Hard left the bar, according to the bartender, appearing to be of sound mind and judgment. He was picked up by the police at 7:55pm slurring, disheveled and with no recollection of what had happened. Clearly this man had way too much to drink and should have never been served this much in such a short period of time. According to the Dram Shop Act Indiana Code 7.1-5-10-15.5 “Sec. 15.

Bars provide stools or chairs that are placed at tables or counters for their patrons. Many bars have a happy hour to encourage off-peak patronage. The term "bar" is derived from the specialized counter on which drinks are served. Customers may sit or stand at the bar and be served by the bartender, or they may sit at tables and be served by cocktail servers. The "back bar" is a set of shelves of glasses and bottles behind that counter. In an economy, it contributes greatly to the progress because it provides employment and healthy competition. It also satisfies the needs of the society and other business as well.  Customer satisfaction is the main goal of a restaurant that is why they aim to discover unique menus and serve quality of foods and services that would make their customers satisfied.

The Dram Shop Law

...laws created by state legislatures to make bars and strictly liable for injuries stemming from the sale of alcoholic beverages.  Dram shop actions are actions for personal injuries and/or property damage arising out of the unlawful furnishing of alcohol by a retail liquor licensee. However, vicarious liability is the liability which falls on one person as a result of an action of another. In modern dram shop lawsuits, dispensing alcohol to minors poses the greatest risk of liability because many courts permit recovery even though the minor was not intoxicated at the time of the purchase or had previously obtained alcohol from another source. Additionally, proving that the alcohol vendor should have known that a patron was underage is a simple matter in light of strict alcoholic beverage control rules that require servers first check identification to confirm the patron’s birth date and Serving alcoholic beverages to a person who is already intoxicated is also a profound liability hazard in many states even though ,it is difficult to develop bright line characteristics that identify the intoxicated patron who should not be further served. I believe alcohol plays a role in many different types of incidents involving personal injuries or death; a dram shop action may be included with other types of causes of action against a variety of defendants. To me, I've got mixed feelings about this. Though generally speaking, a bar patron is considered an "invitee". An invitee...
