Court of Chancery of Delaware

Upon review of vacation home owners' exceptions to a Master's Report which denied their claim to a prescriptive easement over land that the owners long used for the purpose of reaching parking in the back of their beach properties, the court rules that the Master correctly held in favor of the landowner since the owners failed to prove that their use of a strip in order to access their homes was either not permissive, or exclusive against the general public.
