0679 If the narrowness of a 7' ingress easement made a parcel of realty worthless, an abstractor's negligence in describing it as a 15' ingress easement may have caused the plaintiff to invest in worthless realty, but did not cause the realty to be worthless; so the abstractor should be liable for the sum invested by the plaintiff, but not for the difference between the value of the realty and the value that it would have had with a 15' easement.CitationBARTHELS v SANTA BARBARA TITLE (No Access) 28 CA4 674 [See: Garton v Title 106 CA3 365]
