Gottlieb Owned a Cottage Lot Which Had Frontage on a Lake

question 41

True/False

Gottlieb owned a cottage lot which had frontage on a lake. He later granted a 30-metre wide right of way to Baxter, who had a lot behind his, to enable Baxter to reach the lakeshore to launch his power boat. The next year, Baxter built a boathouse on the 30-metre strip in which to store his boat during the winter months. When Gottlieb discovered the boat house a few months later, he hired a bulldozer, and pushed the boathouse off the land, and into the lake. Gottlieb was entitled to take legal action against Baxter to have the boathouse removed.
