Several years ago Howe sold the eastern two-thirds of his land to Richardson who soon thereafter constructed an abode there. One year later, Richardson cleared a path from her abode across Howe's retained land to a road that abuts the western boundary of Howe's land. This path is very convenient to Richardson's use of her land and Richardson uses it daily. The path is readily apparent to anyone. In fact, Howe stood by and watched Richardson clear it. Recently, Howe put a barrier across the path. Richardson now has brought an action to have the barrier removed. 152. The theory which would give Richardson her best chance of success would be:
(A) Richardson has an easement by necessity. This would depend on the strength of the court's feeling about the use of the land.
(B) Richardson has an easement by implication. This would depend on whether the convenience was sufficiently strong to amount to "reasonably necessary."
(C) Richardson has an easement by prescription. This would depend on the length of time she used the path prior to the erection of the barrier.
(D) None of the above.
