You know you’re a law professor when you look at a story like this and think, “I bet that would make a great Torts final exam question.”
And I don’t even teach Torts. (Actually, there’s probably some way to make it a Property final exam question too, if you do easements…)
Aside from the ingress / egress easement implied at (American) law, there's going to be a lateral and subjacent support issue coming up soon...
