Article 1399

Décisions de la Cour suprême interprétant cette section

1. Arrêt de la Cour suprême n° 3940/2540 (1997)

   Using a previously burdened path only by permission of the servient owner after the servitude is obstructed amounts to non-use sufficient to extinguish the servitude under section 1399.

   The defendant had built a house and gated the disputed path about twenty years earlier; thereafter the plaintiff used the path only with the defendant's permission. Even though the plaintiff had formerly held a servitude, by subsequently using it only with permission the plaintiff effectively abandoned the servitude and it was extinguished by non-use under section 1399.

2. Arrêt de la Cour suprême n° 2668/2541 (1998)

   Continued use of any part of the servitude prevents extinguishment by non-use under section 1399.

   The servitude agreement did not specify the exact boundary line of the right-of-way; the court held the servitude extended over all parts of the land necessary for the benefit described. Since the defendants continued to use the path, there was no non-use to trigger extinguishment under section 1399.
