A ferry service is established across the lake that provides Barbara access to her property without crossing the neighbor's land.

Barbara approaches your firm with this issue. Your attorney asks you to research appropriate case laws and statutes in your state and prepare a legal argument supporting Barbara's right to cross the property, applying rules concerning easements.

BL bought the bulk of the gravel to use in the construction of a new warehouse for Olicana Ltd (“Olicana”) on a site owned by Olicana. BL agreed to sell 25 tonnes of the gravel bought from ML to Patel Builders (“Patel”) for £1750.
