Charles D. Wardwell v. John R. Duggins

[¶ 1] Charles D. Wardwell owns land that is burdened by an easement benefiting an abutting parcel owned by John R. Duggins and Corie L. Duggins. Disputes arose regarding the permissible uses of the easement, resulting in this action. After a nonjury trial, the Superior Court (Kennebec County, Murphy, J.) issued a judgment declaring in part that the scope of the,easement includes hunting and recreational activity. Wardwell appeals from that aspect of the judgment, arguing that the parties to the grant did not intend those uses for the easement. We affirm the judgment. 1
