Mount St. Mary’s says it was deeded the easement in 1929, but things got heated when the university sought to build a wellness pavilion near the area.
LOS ANGELES — Mount Saint Mary’s University won a round in court when a judge overruled a legal challenge by the J. Paul Getty Trust to a lawsuit arising from a dispute about an easement being used by school construction vehicles.
In their court papers filed in advance of the hearing, MSMU lawyers denied their claims were unclear. Getty took title to its property in 1983 with record notice of MSMU’s easement and never questioned MSMU’s easement rights until recently, the MSMU lawyers maintain in their court papers. “Even though MSMU’s founders, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, obtained rights in the easement nearly 100 years ago by way of a grant deed, Getty responded by claiming that MSMU somehow has no right to use its easement,” the suit filed March 3 states.
