Jacqueline Olaf owned a large tract of land from 1953 to the present. The house she resides in was on one-half of the tract and a smaller guest quarters was on the other half. The garage for the main house was located on Mrs. Olaf's property, but she needed to make a wide-swing turn to get into the garage (see diagram below). Mrs. Olaf has just sold one-half of the tract with the guest house to Chad Smith. The deed did not mention anything about garage access. Chad has just constructed a basketball court next to the garage (as shown) with the hoop and pavement preventing Mrs. Olaf from getting her car into the garage.
Assume Mrs. Olaf is awarded access by a court, who is the dominant tenant?
