§ 2701. Intent
The intent of this chapter is to state the responsibilities for the maintenance of a private road, in the absence of an express agreement or requirement governing such maintenance responsibilities, in accordance with the Vermont Supreme Court decision of Hubbard v. Bolieau, 144 Vt. 373 (1984), which draws upon established principles of Vermont law. This chapter will only apply to resolve conflicts regarding maintenance of private roads in the absence of an express agreement or requirement. The provisions of this chapter are not intended to abridge, enlarge, or modify any right provided under Hubbard and the common law of Vermont. (Added 2011, No. 123 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
