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). 1, record 6, English, - prescriptive%20title

[Natural right of property] is an expression often used to describe a right that is one of the ordinary and inseparable incidents of ownership, though its exercise requires an adjacent owner to forbear from doing something on his own land that otherwise he would be free to do. The epithet "natural" serves to distinguish such right from easements, which do not automatically accompany ownership but must be acquired by grant, either actual, implied or presumed.(Cheshire, 12th ed., p. 526). 1, record 7, English, - natural%20right%20of%20property

A way of necessity may be acquired by an implied grant in favour of the grantee of lands over the lands of the grantor when land-locked lands are granted which are physically inaccessible unless the grantee is permitted to use the surrounding land of the grantor as an approach, and similarly a way of necessity may by implication be reserved to the grantor over the lands of the grantee when land-locked lands are retained.(Anger and Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 949). 1, record 8, English, - landlocked%20land

The creation of easements by the implication of law is based upon an implied grant which arises upon a grant or disposition of either the dominant or servient tenement by a common owner. Where the owner of two tenements sells one, a grant will be implied of those continuous and apparent easements which during the unity of possession were enjoyed under the title of ownership. Only those easements which are used as of necessity or are in their nature continuous will pass by implication of law without any words of grant....(Anger & Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 932) 1, record 9, English, - implied%20grant
