implied license

implied license
A license to perform an act or acts upon the land of another existing by virtue of acquiescence of the owner or inferred from the acts of the parties, their relations with each other, from custom, or from the habits of the country, but giving the licensee no interest in the land. McKee v Gratz, 200 US 127, 67 L Ed 167, 43 S Ct 16 (license to go upon land for purpose of hunting or fishing). The principle on which an implied license may be distinguished from an implied invitation is that where the privilege of user exists for the common interest or mutual advantage of both parties, it will be held to be an invitation; but if it exists for the mere pleasure and benefit of the party exercising the privilege, it will be held to be a license. Douglas v Bergland, 216 Mich 380, 185 NW 819, 20 ALR 197.
