The common law recognises two types of servitudes namely, easements and profits à prendre. Equity recognises a type of servitude of its own, the restrictive covenant, as well as equitable easements and profits which could arise, for example, where the appropriate formalities for the creation of a common law right had not been complied with. In addition, the doctrine of non-derogation from grant creates rights which, in all important aspects, are servitudes.(Jackson, 1978, p. 2). 1, record 3, English, - servitude

«Servitude» est générique dans le système juridique de common law : il englobe notamment les «easements» et «profits à prendre». Cependant, dans certains textes anglais de common law, le terme «servitude» anglais est aussi employé dans le sens strict pour désigner la «servitude» du droit civil; ce n'est pas l'emploi visé ici. 1, record 3, French, - service%20foncier

While there is difference of opinion as to what constitutes privity of estate in relationships outside of that of landlord and tenant, the weight of authority is to the effect that there is privity of estate when the fact of succession is found to have taken place between covenantor and covenantee, as in a grant of an estate in land made by one of the parties to the other. The modern rule seems to be that either mutuality or succession of interrelationship to the same rights of property creates that privity of estate necessary to enable a covenant to run with the land.(Cartwright, 1972, p. 729). 1, record 4, English, - privity%20of%20estate
