Supreme Court of Virginia

1Opinion of the CourtStephenson, J.
Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO) appeals a ruling that an easement it acquired is void because the agreement failed to state the easement’s location “with reasonable particularity and definiteness” as prescribed by Code § 56-259. Appellees (collectively, Buchwalter) 2 assign cross-error to the trial court’s holdings that certain restrictive covenants running with their lots do not prohibit construction of an electric transmission line and that the structures VEPCO proposed to erect were included within the meaning of the term “pole” as it is used in the easement argreement.
