1.00pm to 2.00pm Easements: Disputes and Construction: What Does it All Mean?
A common category of easement disputation concerns the rules applicable to the true construction of easements and covenants, for example:
- What extent of user an easement provides for
- What type of construction a covenant prohibits
Join Sydney Jacobs for a practically focused exploration of the latest cases that shed light on the rules that apply to the true construction of easements and covenants, how they differ to the rules for construction of commercial contracts; and for some practical suggestions as to the drafting of instruments granting of such interests to quell neighbourly disputation before it flares into mortal combat.
