Land law

Virdi v Chana [2008] EWHC 2901 (Ch), [2008] All ER (D) 40 (Dec)

It has long been recognised that an easement could not be claimed if its effect is to deprive the servient owner of the benefits of ownership. In respect of an easement relating to car parking spaces, such an easement would not exist in law if the owner of the servient land would be left without any reasonable use of the land, thus rendering that ownership illusory.
