Bevan v. Brandon Township

Defendants appeal as of right from a circuit court judgment in plaintiffs’ favor permanently enjoining defendants from applying the township’s private road ordinance relative to plaintiffs’ property and awarding plaintiffs $5,300 in attorney fees. We affirm.

The lower court decided this matter on the following stipulated facts:

Plaintiffs purchased this lakefront property in two parcels by separate land contracts on September 20, 1954, and June 11, 1964 and took title in 1964 and 1970. Thereafter, Wava Bevan, formerly Wava Warner, transferred title to herself and William Bevan, her husband.
