Lawyer Protects Shopping Center Property Rights
On September 7, 2009, the Virginia Beach Circuit Court ruled in favor of the owner of Kempsville Plaza Shopping Center against an adjacent land owner, Tesoro Corporation, which asserted that it had an easement over the shopping center property. Tesoro claimed that it had the unrestricted right to drive its trucks and vehicles over the shopping center parking lot for ingress and egress to its property. Moreover, Tesoro claimed that its prescriptive easement allowed it to have waste trucks access its dumpster from shopping center property. The Court rejected Tesoro’s claim of an easement by prescription after a two-day trial. Had Tesoro prevailed, the shopping center would have been significantly impacted and potentially have lost its anchor tenant. For more information, contact William Bischoff or review the Virginia Beach Circuit Court file Tesoro Corporation v VHN, L.L.C. and RAML Associates, LLP, Civil Action No. CL07-2112.
Attorney Recovers $250,000 for Lender On 11/6/09, the York County Circuit Court ordered the payment of approximately $250,000 to a lender in a partition suit. The complex suit involved over 45 ownership shares and hundreds of actual and potential parties. The firm argued the legal theories of unjust enrichment, equitable lien, and constructive trust to obtain the result, allowing the client lender to recover the money it advanced for the construction of a home from the sale of the subject property. The lender had failed to secure its loan with a properly recorded deed of trust and the property had significant title problems. For additional information, contact Bill Bischoff.
