Question 4

Multiple Choice

Green owned a cottage lot which had frontage on a lake. He later granted a 5-metre wide right of way to Brown who owned a lot behind Green's property, to enable Brown to reach the lake to launch his power boat. The following year, Brown built a boathouse on the 5-metre wide strip in which to store his boat in the winter months. When Green discovered the boathouse a few months later, he wrote to Brown and requested that it be removed. When Brown refused, Green hired a bulldozer and pushed the boathouse off the land and into the lake. Which of the following statements are not true?


A) Brown was not entitled to build a boathouse on the right of way.
B) Instead of removing the boathouse personally, Green was obliged to have taken legal action against Brown, as Brown had an interest in the lands.
C) Green is the owner of the land subject only to Brown's right of way on the 5-metre strip of property.
D) Brown is liable to Green for the cost of removal of the boathouse.
