Description
ADAMS, JUSTICE. This is an appeal from a judgment in favor of the defendant, John B. Ames, against the plaintiffs, Jodie M. Gaston, Gabriel
W. Osborn, Royal C. Burns, and Georgia Burns (hereinafter all plaintiffs are sometimes referred to as "Gaston"). Gaston filed
suit against Ames on September 6, 1983, asking for a declaratory judgment determining that Ames had improperly prevented the
plaintiffs from enjoying access to subdivision lots owned by the plaintiffs located in Ocmulgee Estates. They allege that
Ames prevented access to their property by maintenance of a fence and locked gate across the only point of access to the subdivision.
Plaintiffs also sought actual and punitive damages and a permanent injunction enjoining and restraining Ames from restricting;
or limiting their access to their subdivision. On June 27, 1986, the court, without a jury, issued its ruling denying all
relief requested by the plaintiffs, concluding that the subdivision was no longer "viable." On appeal, plaintiffs argue that
the trial court's judgment was erroneous and against the great weight of the evidence. We agree and reverse.
