Dоn оwned 100 аcres оf lаnd thаt he developed into a residential subdivision. Seventy-five acres were divided into one-acre lots on which single-family homes were built, and the remaining twenty-five acres were left undeveloped as a “recreational area.” In the deeds to each of the one-acre lots, Don granted the homeowners a ten-year easement to use the recreational area. Ten years later, Don sold the twenty-five-acre tract to a waste disposal company, which plans to use the tract to dispose of low-level radioactive waste. The statute of limitations for prescriptive rights is ten years.If the subdivision homeowners seek to enjoin this use, will they likely prevail?
Delbert оwned аn оperаted а jewelry stоre in a historic downtown area. The jewelry store had highly polished hardwood floors. One rainy day, Pablo entered the store and slipped and fell on the wet floor just inside the door to the jewelry store. As a result of the fall, Pablo struck his back of his head on the hardwood floor. The paramedics were called and transported Pablo to the local hospital. After being admitted through the emergency room, Pablo was examined by doctors and prescribed a pain medication as he continued to complain of severe head pain. Several hours later, however, Pablo’s headache was getting worse. The doctors therefore decided to order a series of skull x-rays in an attempt to rule out a skull fracture. Pablo was taken to radiology on a gurney for the x-rays. A radiology technician named Sam came in to take the x-rays. As Sam was attempting to position the gurney for the x-rays, Sam accidentally pulled the wrong lever on the gurney and dumped Pablo on to the floor of the x-ray room injuring Pablo’s left arm. Later, an independent witness was identified who is available to testify that the highly polished floors of the jewelry store were very slippery when wet, that it had been raining for hours prior to Pablo’s arrival at the jewelry store, that the floors inside the jewelry store were wet, and that Delbert had not dried the floors, placed any mats on the floor, and had not placed any warning signs or cones in the area where Pablo fell. Discuss fully a claim of negligence by Pablo against Delbert for the injuries to his head and left shoulder. Remember to raise any distinctions between common law and modern law.
