Ratio Decidendi
An easement must accommodate the dominant tenement, meaning it must benefit the land itself rather than merely providing a personal advantage to the landowner.
ข้อเท็จจริง
A conveyance purported to grant a right to use a park that was not adjacent to the dominant land.
สรุปคำพิพากษา
The court held the right did not accommodate the dominant tenement because the park was too far away to enhance the use and enjoyment of the land itself.
คำกล่าวสำคัญ
"An easement must be connected with the enjoyment of the dominant tenement and must not be a mere personal advantage."
