Henley v. Continental Cablevision Of St. Louis County, Inc.

692 S.W.2d 825 (Mo.Ct.App. 1985)

Facts

Henly (P) as trustee of the University Park subdivision filed an action for injunctive relief against D for putting its cable wires and equipment onto easements granted to the telephone and power companies in 1922. D claims it had a right as it exercised a license granted by both utility companies. P also sought $300,000 in damages and the reasonable value of the use of P's property based on quantum meruit. The issue was whether the easements in gross were exclusive.
