Q: If A owns a strip of land and bans B from taking boats across his boatyard and to the harbour, then what would that be?
Doing Scottish Law Legal System. A has difficulties with taking his boats across because the owner of the strip of land between two places (B) bans him to do so. Over that, B threatened A that unless A gave B a boat, A would not be allowed to take boats across according to B's conditions of his property. B builds a two-meter high stone wall from both sides (the boatyard and harbour). A however has been moving boats over the land for 5 years, since the previous owner of the strip of land (C) did not have any concerns about it, but now B is the current owner of the land.
A: It looks like you are overseas. This forum deals mainly with U.S. law. You would need to reach out to attorneys in Scotland. Maybe a place to start would be a local attorney experienced in real estate matters. What you are describing looks like it could involve easement rights if it was under U.S. law. Good luck
