The Supreme Court of Missouri affirmed the order to remove the dock, holding that riparian rights do not arise from owning land abutting an artificial lake without an easement or other grant. However, the Court reversed the award of attorney's fees, concluding that the Edlers' actions did not constitute \"special circumstances\" justifying such an award.","primaryTopic":"property-real-estate","topicSlugs":["property-real-estate","civil-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review","other"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=139776","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/incline-village-board-of-trustees-respondent-v-matthew-f-edler-and-andrea-c97345","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"real-estate","label":"Real Estate","href":"/practice-areas/real-estate","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: real-estate","topic: property-real-estate"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/real-estate"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
