Q: Land Dispute in a Land Court, What defenses do I have to oppose a motion to impose fee? Which law supports my defenses?
I'm inquiring about MA rule of law on a motion to sanction or fee impose on a defendant. This is land court, land dispute, and contempt proceeding. I was sued for a prescriptive and adverse possession easement in a planned community. The Plaintiff claims that I have violated the order and motioned for a fee. I have not violated the order.

A: You will need to file an Response denying the allegations. Get ready for the hearing with any witnesses and/or evidence of your obeying the Order verbatim. I recommend hiring a MA attorney as incarceration might be a possibility.
