Abstract

This article examines the history and development of prescriptive easements in Newfoundland and Labrador, and the legal standards required to find such an easement to exist. The article concludes that the appropriate inquiry is not merely an examination of the length of use, but also the nature and extent of use, and that rigid application of timelines should not apply. L’auteur examine les origines et le developpement des servitudes acquises par prescription a Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador ainsi que les normes juridiques necessaires pour conclure qu’une telle servitude existe. Il conclut que la recherche appropriee ne doit pas se limiter a un simple examen de la duree d’utilisation, mais qu’elle doit aussi porter sur la nature et la portee de l’utilisation et que l’application rigide des delais ne devrait pas s’appliquer.
