I was recently involved in a civil suit where an 50+ year old easement was brought up. I’m glad you only consider the easement valid for 5 years or when in use, but the courts disagree.
A philosophical difference for sure, I happen to find plenty of laws to be unjust, not right, and even unconstitutional. In this comment chain that seems a bit out of place though, I thought we were specifically talking about the laws at play here (maybe I misread it though!)
