Page 197 - Important Provisions of The New Civil Code

Apparent easements are those which are made

known and are continually kept in view by

external signs that reveal the use and

enjoyment of the same.

Nonapparent easements are those which show

no external indication of their existence. (532)

Article 616. Easements are also positive or

negative.

A positive easement is one which imposes upon

the owner of the servient estate the obligation

of allowing something to be done or of doing it

himself, and a negative easement, that which

prohibits the owner of the servient estate from

doing something which he could lawfully do if

the easement did not exist.
