Extinction of Easements || Law of Torts and Easement

In this video we discuss different methods of Extinction of Easements. Dissolution of Servient Owner’s right In the situation where the grantor ceases to have any right in the servient tenement because of some reason, then the right of easements ceases to exist as well. For Example - X grants a piece of land to Y for a period of 20 years in the year 1970. In the year 1971, Y imposed an easement in favor of Z. In 1990 Y’s interest came to an end. Thus, easementary right granted to Z ceases to end as well. Expiry of time or happening of an event When an easement is acquired on certain conditions or for certain purpose or for certain period of time. On the fulfillment of such condition or purpose or expiry of the time, the right of easement extinguishes as well as in accordance with Section 6 of the Act. Extinction by release Where in a situation the owner of the dominant heritage releases the right of easement to the servient owner, the right ceases to exist. Such a release can be both expressly or impliedly made. For eg- P has a right to discharge water through the eaves to Q’s yard. P  authorized Q to construct a building to such a height as not be able to discharge water. Q builds it and P’s right comes to an end. #ExtinctionofEasements https://youtube.com/channel/UCeD7VeZP.
