Lack of use of an easement obtained by adverse possession does not revoke the easement

FRANK BAILEY and wife, ALMA SUE BAILEY; EARL BAILEY; CALVIN CHESNEY; and RALPH BAILEY, v. CARROLL S. GWYN and wife, ROSE F. GWYN (Tenn.Ct.App. August 24, 2007).

In this action to have an easement established across defendants' property, the Trial Court held there was clear and convincing evidence that plaintiffs were entitled to an easement by adverse use. We affirm.
