Article 779: A. Object

Book Four: LAW OF PROPERTY › Part Two: LIMITED RIGHTS IN REM › Chapter One: SERVITUDES AND LAND CHARGES › Division One: SERVITUDES IN FAVOUR OF IMMOVABLE PROPERTY

A servitude in favour of an immovable property is a burden imposed on one immovable property in favour of another immovable property, which obliges the owner of the servient immovable property to refrain from exercising certain powers conferred by the right of ownership or to tolerate the owner of the dominant immovable property using the servient immovable property in a certain manner.

Obligations to perform positive acts may not form the sole object of a servitude; they may be attached to it only as an ancillary obligation.
