Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAAn individual, having purchased a property subject to a right of way, sought to have the right extinguished by prescription, arguing that the path had not been used by the dominant estate holder for over thirty years, but the court of appeal upheld the continuation of the servitude, finding that the lack of use was not absolute as evidenced by maintenance work performed on the path by the servient estate owner, which demonstrated an intention to preserve the right, thus preventing the finding of thirty years of uninterrupted non-use required for extinguishment by prescription.
