According to court documents from 2019, Langlois accused Lehrer of obstructing the road and impeding its free use for several years. Lehrer’s alleged actions included blocking the road with boulders, digging trenches, and erecting barriers, causing significant disruption for Langlois and his employees.
A local report from 2018 detailed a protest staged by residents after the road was blocked, affecting their safe passage to work.
The legal battle reached the island’s highest court in 2019, with a ruling affirming the road’s public status and granting Langlois and his guest’s free access.
