The Court of Civil Appeals reaffirmed a longstanding principle of property law, holding that a property owner could erect a gate on his land, even though the gate crossed, and, “at worst,” “negligibly” burdened a neighbor’s easement. Hammond v. Lovvorn, No. 2070749 (Ala. Civ. App. Feb. 20, 2009).

Determination of “Separate” Boundary Line Issue Not A Final Judgment

The defendants’ attempt to gain review of the partial order was dismissed. Day v. Davis, No. 2060787 (Ala. Civ. App. Feb. 15, 2008).
