Easements Act, 1882

This authoritative edition brings together the full Easements Act, 1882 and provides concise, clause-level annotations designed to clarify the law of easements for both practitioners and students. Beginning with the statutory definition (Section 4) — which defines an easement as a right enjoyed for the beneficial enjoyment of one land over another — the book explains the distinction between dominant and servient heritage and classifies easements as continuous/discontinuous and apparent/non-apparent. It details creation mechanisms (express grant, implication, necessity and prescription), statutory limits on prescriptive rights, and the statutory procedures and common-law principles that govern transfer, acquisition and extinguishment of easements. Practical chapters translate doctrine into practice with drafting templates (easement deeds, notices), litigation checklists, sample pleadings and succinct case summaries that highlight leading authorities. A useful appendix compiles landmark sections, a quick-reference glossary and flowcharts for acquisition/extinction routes, making this volume ideal for courtroom preparation, transactional work and classroom study.
