Question 10
10. Marvic inherited a piece of land and decided to farm it. The land was bordered
on all sides by properties belonging to other owners. The surrounding property
closest to the public highway is owned by Renato. Willing to pay compensation,
Marvic talked to Renato about granting him access to the highway but Renato
refused. Renato reasoned that there is another access point for Marvic through a
dirt road that connects to the public highway without passing through his
property. Marvic argued that this is not convenient as it is twice the distance,
circuitous, and unlit. As they could not reach an agreement, Marvic filed a
complaint for easement of right of way against Renato. Should a compulsory
right of way be granted in favor of Marvic? Explain your answer.
