This form is designed for situations where an adjacent owner erected a fence on a plaintiff's easement and informal requests have been ignored. It seeks a court injunction to remove the obstruction and explains how to complete the filing, including identifying the parties, describing the easement, documenting the encroachment, requesting relief, and outlining costs recoverable in pursuing the matter.
This form does not set easement costs. It provides for reimbursement of costs incurred in pursuing the matter. Actual costs vary by property and jurisdiction. For budgeting and potential recoveries, consider consulting an attorney who can outline likely court costs and how the form handles cost recovery.
This form focuses on obtaining an injunction to remove an encroachment on an easement, not on setting compensation for the easement itself. It provides for recovery of costs incurred in pursuing the matter, and requires a clear description of the easement and encroachment. For compensation matters, consult an attorney to explore appraisal or negotiation options.
This form does not define easement dimensions. The 'Description of the easement property' section requires accurately describing the easement’s location, size, and legal basis, using any supporting documents.

This form is specifically for enforcing an easement by obtaining an injunction to remove an obstruction on the easement.
