DEF

A right at common law or under statute pertaining to the public generally and exercisable by any member thereof, such as the right to pass along a highway, as contrasted with a private right attaching to an individual. ("The Oxford Companion to Law", 1980, p. 1016).

CONT

An easement must always be appurtenant to land; it is a right exercisable by the owner for the time being by virtue of his estate in the land. A public right, on the other hand, is a right exercisable by anyone, whether he owns land or not, merely by virtue of the general law. (Megarry and Wade, p. 815)
