The owner of a large parcel of real estate legally divided it into two smaller parcels. Parcel North was directly to the north of Parcel South. The only road in the area bordered Parcel South. The owner intended to keep Parcel North, and wanted to prevent it from becoming landlocked. In the deed to the buyer of Parcel South, the owner reserved a non-exclusive easement for ingress and egress purposes over the westerly 8 feet of Parcel South. After both parcels were sold to two new owners, the new owner of Parcel South fenced in the entire parcel, making ingress and egress over the westerly 8 feet impossible for the new owner of Parcel North. In a lawsuit between the new owner of Parcel North and the new owner of Parcel South, who will most likely win?
