benefited land and burdened land (1)
An easement for
lateral, subadjacent or
superjacent support
exists in favour of land (the
benefited land ) against other
land (the burdened
land )
if the burdened
land is
capable of
supplying lateral,
subadjacent or
superjacent support
to the benefited
land. (2) The easement entitles the owner of the
benefited land to enter the burdened land, other than a part
of the land where a person resides, for the easement—
(a) to inspect
the burdened land
for the purpose
of preventing or rectifying any
infringement of the rights of the owner of the benefited land;
and (b) to maintain, change or replace all or
part of a structure providing support. (3)
An
owner of the burdened land— (a)
