Examples include gas pipes and a right of way.<\/p>\n<p>Re Ellenborough Park [1956] outlines four characteristics of an easement and they are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>There must be a dominant and servient tenement<\/li>\n<li>The easements must accommodate the dominant land<\/li>\n<li>The easement must be owned and occupied by different people<\/li>\n<li>The easement must be capable of forming the subject matter of a \u2018grant\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>A profit-a-prendre (profit) on the other hand is defined as: the right to go to another\u2019s land and remove something that exists there naturally. Examples include a right to remove soil\/mineral or to graze sheep on another\u2019s land. Profits can appear in gross (completely separate not attached to a dominant land) or appurtenant (can only be used by owner of the adjacent property).<\/p>\n<p>As with easements, there is a requirement for there to be a servient land over which the right exists, however with profits there must always be a dominant land benefitted by the right.<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the differences between easements and profits-\u00e0-prendre under land law?
