Summary

A Servitude is a registered right vested in a person, who thereby derives some advantage from another's property. There are two types: 1. Praedial: A servitude which operates in favour of the owner of a piece of land and which cannot be separated from that land, and 2. Personal: A servitude in favour of a person or body who need not own any land.A Servitude is analogous to a right-of-way in the U.S. Basically it is an encumbrance on another property.

  • User accepts liability for use. Land Parcels and Legislative Boundaries have been digitised using General and Noting Plans and the accuracy may vary from centimetres to several meters. The data can thus be used as a backdrop for planning purposes but the accuracy does not yet permit work to be conducted thereupon for engineering purposes. The data set may not be duplicated and/or distributed without data vendoring agreement.
