Description

The development of the law of prescriptive easements in North Carolina is set out in Dickinson v. Pake, 284 N.C. 576, 201 S.E.2d 897 (1974). In North Carolina, unlike the majority of other jurisdictions, we presume that the use of a way over another's land is permissive unless evidence appears to the contrary. Id. In the present controversy the sole issue is whether plaintiffs presented evidence sufficient to go to the jury that their use of the road over defendants' land was ""adverse, hostile, or under a claim of right."" See id. at 580, 201 S.E.2d 900.
