SERVITUDE [3 records]

Record 1 2013-05-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
OBS

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).

  • PAJLO
  • Droit des biens et de la propriété (common law)
OBS

«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.

OBS

service foncier : terme normalisé par le Comité de normalisation dans le cadre du Programme national de l'administration de la justice dans les deux langues officielles (PAJLO).

A charge or burden resting upon one estate for the benefit or advantage of another; a species of incorporeal right derived from the civil law [and] closely corresponding to the "easement" of the common-law, except that "servitude" rather has relation to the burden or the estate burdened, while "easement" refers to the benefit or advantage or the estate to which it accrues.

English

Subject field(s)
  • International Public Law
CONT

International regimes are sometimes compared to so-called servitudes, which is a term used in international law on an analogy with Roman law to mean a charge on premises in favour of the owner of another piece of land. In international law the term refers to permanent restriction on the jurisdiction over a piece of territory in favour of rights conceded to another State. Examples can be seen in the difference between the frontiers which are drawn for political and for customs purposes in various parts of the world.

CONT

An international servitude is positive where the servient State is under obligation to permit the dominant State to exercise certain powers within its (servient State's) territory ...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit international public
DEF
