Supreme
Court of
542
So.2d 959.
Johnson,
pp. 795-801
Facts: A skating rink and a car
dealer were located next to each other in what used to be a swamp. Before the skating rink was there, there was
a miniature golf course, and there was no problem with water flow. But now the skating rink has a sloped roof
that increased the flow towards the car dealer.
The roof is a steeper pitch than the natural grade of the land. Cars got damaged! So the car lot built a big ol’ wall to keep
all the wall on the skating rink’s property.
The next time there was a flood, all the water stayed on the skating
rink’s side and the rink was damaged.
