FOUR relatives have been granted legal rights to access their family’s land in Roxborough through a neighboring property after the High Court ruled in their favour in their lawsuit against their neighbour on August 25.

Justice Frank Seepersad declared that Maudlyn London, Ava London, Karmaria London, and Karina London are entitled to a right of way across land owned by Peaches Douglas. The ruling followed a year-long dispute over whether the sisters had legally acquired access to their landlocked property.

The judge found that the Londons and their licensees had openly used the strip of land, measuring approximately 56 feet long and 2.5 meters wide, for decades as their sole practical access route to the main road. Seepersad determined that the alternative path proposed by Douglas was “treacherous at best” and “virtually impossible to traverse, especially during the rainy season.”
