Title by prescription, known in the civil law as usucapio, arises from a long-continued and uninterrupted possession of property. (Jowitt, p. 1413)

OBS

A claim to an easement that has not been acquired by grant, express or implied, must be founded upon prescription, that is to say, a title acquired by possession had during the time and in the manner fixed by law. There are three ways of establishing a prescriptive title :(1) prescription at common law;(2) prescription based upon the doctrine of the lost modern grant, and(3) prescription based upon the prescription provisions of the Limitations Acts.(Anger and Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 935).

If the dominant owner shows an intention to release an easement or profit, it will be extinguished by implied release. Mere non-user is never enough by itself : an intention to abandon the right must be shown. Nevertheless non-user for a long period may raise a presumption of abandonment.(Megarry & Wade, 4th ed. 1975, p. 870)
