Easements by Necessity
{"Image DocumentName": "Easements by Necessity", "Image ImageDescription": "The council offered to buy the land but at a price that was unacceptable to the P. So the P sought an easement of necessity over the land that they had sold. P had decided to build his own carpark and needed the easement to create a driveway into the land. The P argued that easements of necessity arise as a matter of public policy whenever land becomes landlocked. Therefore intention is irrelevant. The court rejected this argument holding that easements of necessity are based on the presumed intentions of the parties and therefore may be rebutted by evidence of actual intention. As P had never intended that an easement should be created, had not thought it was needed, the court would not find an easement of necessity.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
