Title: Continuous and Discontinuous, Apparent and Non-apparent Easements

State: Central

Year: 1882

Easements are either continuous or discontinuous, apparent or non-apparent. A continuous easement is one whose enjoyment is, or may be, continual without the act of man. A discontinuous easement is one that needs the act of man for its enjoyment. An apparent easement is one the existence of which is shown by some permanent sign which, upon careful inspection by a competent person, would be visible to him. A non-apparent easement is one that has no such sign. Illustrations (a) A right annexed to B 's house to receive light by the windows without obstruction by his neighbour A. This is a continuous casement. (b) A right of way annexed to A's house over B's land. This is a discontinuous easement.
