Winne, Banta, Basralian & Kahn, P.C. is pleased to announce a complete summary judgment victory on behalf of our clients.

Following oral argument, the Superior Court of New Jersey in Essex County, granted summary judgment and dismissed with prejudice, a complex real-estate and easement dispute involving allegations of trespass, ejectment, and tortious interference and demands for damages, declaratory relief, and injunctive relief. The Court found that our clients possessed a valid, recorded, exclusive, and perpetual easement that ran with the land, entitling them to judgment as a matter of law.

The defense was led by Michael Cohen and Aaron Drew, who successfully demonstrated that no genuine issues of material fact existed and that the plaintiff’s claims failed as a matter of law under well-settled New Jersey precedent.

This decision reinforces the importance of careful title review and confirms the enforceability of long-standing, properly recorded easements in New Jersey real estate disputes.
