Generally
N.D.Tex.2020. Cit. generally in disc. Landowner sued lessee of oil-and-gas interests on landowner's
property, seeking a preliminary injunction to enjoin defendant from selling its interests in the lease to
third-party purchaser through its power under the parties' lease agreement to reasonably withhold
consent to sale of the interests. This court denied plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction, holding,
as a matter of first impression, that plaintiff unreasonably withheld its consent to the sale of the interests.
The court noted that Texas law relied on theories set forth in the Restatement of Property, the
Restatement Second of Property: Landlord & Tenant, and the Restatement Third of Property: Servitudes
when construing oil-and-gas leases. Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research v. BP
America Production Company, 447 F.Supp.3d 522, 529, 530.
Conn.2020. Cit. generally in cases cit. in sup. Beneficiaries of two family trusts created by grandfather
and great-grandmother brought a declaratory action against co-beneficiaries, alleging that the trusts
conveyed the trust corpus directly to the grandchildren of grandfather upon the death of the measuring
lives, which included the lives of all three of grandfather's children, because the terms of the trusts
gifted trust assets to the grantors' issue who were then living at the time the trusts expired. The trial
court entered judgment for defendants. This court affirmed, holding that the proper interpretation of the
trusts was that the trust corpus should be divided equally among the three children of grandfather. The
court rejected plaintiffs' assertion that it was improper to look to the Restatement of Property, the
Restatement Second of Property: Donative Transfers, and the Restatement Third of Property: Wills and
Other Donative Transfers to interpret the trusts because those Restatements did not exist at the time the
trusts were created, and explained that courts were not limited to law decided prior to the execution of
the trust instruments. Schwerin v. Ratcliffe, 238 A.3d 1, 16.
Or.App.2020. Cit. generally in disc. Landowners sued neighbors, alleging that defendants trespassed
onto plaintiffs' property, because an easement stipulated in a declaration encompassing the parties'
properties and in a deed conveying ownership of the properties from a corporation to the parties'
predecessor-in-interest was invalid. The trial court granted defendants' motion for summary judgment
and entered a limited judgment in favor of defendants. This court reversed and remanded, holding, inter
alia, that no valid easement burdening plaintiffs' property existed, because the parties' properties were
owned as a single unit at the time the easement was purportedly created. The court noted that it was
appropriate to give weight to the Restatement Third of Property: Servitudes in analyzing the purported
easement, because Oregon frequently looked to the Restatement Second of Torts, the Restatement
Second of Property: Landlord & Tenant, and the Restatement of Property as shorthand expressions of
the court's view on the relevant subject matter. Partney v. Russell, 469 P.3d 756, 765.
