The All-Power Gas and Electric Company cleared a right of way across Larry's land and put up a power line, which it has maintained for the past 20 years. Now the company wants to replace the old line with a new one, and Larry has decided he doesn't want them on his land. Does the company have a recognizable interest in Larry's land? Can Larry keep the company from installing a new line?


The power company has an easement, which is a limited right to make use of Larry's land for a specific purpose. As the owner of the land, Larry has the right to make any use of the land as long as it does not interfere with the power company's easement. Larry cannot keep the power company from installing a new line, because that would interfere with the use of the easement.
