What is the test for establishing a prescriptive right of way?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Mitrovic v. Ostojic, 2008 ONCA 144 (CanLII):

The appellant argues that the respondents could not establish a prescriptive right of way because the appellant consented to its use. However, there is no evidence that the appellant consented to a limited-term use of the right of way. To the contrary, all the evidence is that the appellant consented to a permanent easement. We also find support for this result in Hill v. Nova Scotia (Attorney General), [1997] S.C.J. No.115.
