Law of Property and Easement

Law of Property: The Law of Property encompasses the rules and principles that govern the ownership and rights associated with real property (land and anything attached to it) and personal property (movable possessions). It involves understanding how property rights are acquired, transferred, and protected under the law.

Easements: Easements are rights enjoyed by one landowner over the land of another. These rights can include the right of way (e.g., a pathway or road), the right to access resources (e.g., water), or the right to light and air. Easements are typically created by express agreement, implication, or necessity and are recorded to ensure clarity and enforceability.

In studying these concepts, LLB students explore how property rights are defined, how they can be legally transferred or restricted, and the balance between the rights of property owners and the rights of others to use or access that property. Understanding easements is crucial as they often involve complex legal considerations such as their creation, scope, enforcement, and termination.

For LLB semester 3, students will delve deeper into these topics through case studies, statutes, and theoretical frameworks to develop a comprehensive understanding of property law and easements within the legal system.
