“Right of Way” is enshrined in all property law. This is basic miscarriage of justice clearly greased by corruption and payoffs.

It is enshrined if you actually have a right of way. The ferry company did not have a right of way over the land of the plaintiff. This was a property rights case - nothing more nothing less. Conservatives should actually applaud the decision because it upheld private property rights.

I watch a lot of Brit stuff. It seems like “right of way” is and has been strictly enforced there for a long time. Land owners don’t like it, of course, but they’re the ones who get in trouble for blocking a public right of way.

Why has the Virginia county sometime between now and 200 years ago established a legal easement to the landing and adjacent approaches? Or, via eminent domain acquired title for public use? I believe that a county public road connects to the landing.
