Municipal Decree Upheld: Compulsory Utility Easement Established for Neighboring Access

A property owner sought to annul a municipal decree establishing a mandatory easement across their land to allow access to a neighboring property for the purpose of installing necessary utilities, arguing the expropriation was for private benefit and lacked public utility. The court rejected the appeal, reasoning that the establishment of such an access easement, even if primarily benefiting a neighboring owner for utility installation, falls under the legally defined scope of public utility when the municipality deems it necessary for the general convenience and needs of the inhabitants, thereby justifying the compulsory servitude.
