Page 204 - Important Provisions of The New Civil Code

In case the right of way is limited to the

necessary passage for the cultivation of the

estate surrounded by others and for the

gathering of its crops through the servient

estate without a permanent way, the indemnity

shall consist in the payment of the damage

caused by such encumbrance.

This easement is not compulsory if the isolation

of the immovable is due to the proprietor's own

acts. (564a)

Article 650. The easement of right of way shall

be established at the point least prejudicial to

the servient estate, and, insofar as consistent

with this rule, where the distance from the

dominant estate to a public highway may be the

shortest. (565)
