Prescriptive Easement Extent Over Property Access

A property owner who granted a right of passage to a neighboring parcel, believing the right was established by prescription due to the prior use of a specific path, later sought to restrict the use of that path to the access needs of the dominant estate as originally defined, arguing the prescription only covered the existing use. The court rejected this claim, reasoning that a right of passage established by prescription is not strictly limited to the exact dimensions of the historical use but extends to all uses reasonably necessary for the complete enjoyment of the dominant estate, as the right, once acquired, is defined by the needs of the benefiting property.
