Southland Corp. v. Potter
Court of Appeals of Utah
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
JACKSON, Judge:
Southland Corporation (“Southland”) appeals rejection of its claim of an easement across Potters’ land for customer access to a convenience store. Potters cross-appeal dismissal of their claim for trespass damages. We affirm.
