John J. Lee v. Beach One Properties, LLC et al.

This case involves the purchase of a parcel of real property pursuant to an installment contract for deed.  After entering into the contract, the purchaser discovered the existence of a natural gas pipeline easement on the property.  The purchaser subsequently brought suit against the seller, arguing an anticipatory breach of contract and a breach of the warranty of title for failure to inform him of the easement.  The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of the seller based on its finding that the easement was properly recorded and discoverable through the exercise of ordinary due diligence.  On appeal, we affirm.
