Abstract

The distinction between a servitude and an ancillary right is not clear. An ancillary right is a part of the servitude itself and is governed by the same rules. There are still several reasons for making the distinction between the servitude and the ancillary right. The burdened owner might, in some cases, be obliged to take positive action to facilitate an easement. Another reason is that the numerus clausus principle applies to servitudes but not to ancillary rights. The criteria an ancillary right must fulfil to be recognised as such are discussed.
