Leland Eisenbarth, et al. v. Dean Reusser, et al., Case No. 2014-1767
Seventh District Court of Appeals (Monroe County)
ISSUES:
-Does the 1989 Dormant Mineral Act (DMA) deem separate mineral interests abandoned and vested back to the surface property owner if none of the statutory "saving events" occurred in the 20 years immediately preceding any date during which the 1989 DMA was in effect?
-Is an oil and gas lease signed by someone other than the mineral rights holder a title transaction within the meaning of the act?
