II. [§ 6.6] QUIET TITLE
John Smith owns a gasoline station located on Taylor Street in Chevy Chase, Maryland. George Harris owns an adjacent parcel of land that is used as a shopping center. In his use of the shopping center property, George Harris has repeatedly asked Smith for permission to use a 20-foot strip of Smith's property as a means of ingress and egress for the shopping center. Smith has flatly refused to permit Harris to use his land for this purpose. Recently, however, Harris has claimed that he has superior title to this property and has made plans to put an entranceway across Smith's land. As a result, Smith brought this action to quiet title to his land.
