Property
Condemnation; easements; adverse possession
Gary and Judith Pahl appeal a summary judgment dismissing their claims against American Transmission Company and ATC Management, Inc. (collectively, ATC). They contend that: (1) a 1964 easement granted to the utility is void as unconscionable and against public policy; (2) ATC abandoned the easement or the easement was extinguished through adverse possession; (3) ATC violated the terms of the easement agreement and is required to condemn and compensate the Pahls for the use of their land; and (4) ATC was negligent in not providing the Pahls with information about the condemnation process. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
