Gregory, Justice,
.concurring in result:
I disagree with the majority’s holding that this case is reviewable as an action at law. As stated in the majority opinion, an action to establish an easement may be either legal or equitable depending upon the relief sought in the complaint. See Gore v. Skipper, supra. The cases cited to support the majority’s holding involve questions of title. As noted in the majority opinion, title is not at issue in this case. Here the complaint sought to enjoin the impediment to appellant’s use of an asserted easement by necessity. In my view, this is clearly an equitable action. Under our scope of review in an equity action, I reach the same result as the majority.
Littlejohn, Acting J., concurs.
