A property owner was obligated to contribute to the costs of maintenance and necessary improvements for an adjoining private road, even though the road was not officially classified as a public right-of-way, because the owner's property directly benefited from its use, as established by prior judgments recognizing the shared nature of the servitude for access; consequently, the court of cassation quashed the lower court's decision, finding that the obligation to contribute to the costs of a necessary appurtenance that serves the adjoining properties cannot be waived merely by refusing to utilize the servitude, as the benefit conferred justifies the proportionate financial contribution.
