possessing it. The easements rights are called in Roman law as jura in re aliena (i.e,right
in the property of another) . These rights are also called as servitudes , In Roman law as
jus in re aliena ( i.e, duty in the property of another) . Easements are helpful for
providing pathways across two or more pieces of property. An easement is considered as
a property right in itself at common law and is still treated as a type of property in most
jurisdictions.
