To the Question of Easement Objects

Abstract

An easement under civil law is the right to use the property of others to meet the needs of others who cannot be otherwise satisfied. The legislator very briefly lists the objects of the easement and allocates positions for them in different norms. The necessity to study easement objects, among which land, their parts, other natural resources, and other real estate is justified. Issues of «other natural resources» in accordance with the current legislation of Ukraine, which include water bodies, forests, flora and fauna, subsoil, are investigated. Water bodies can be transferred not only for use, but also for the property of participants of civil legal relations, and, accordingly, the owners can transfer them on the right of easement to other persons. Attention is drawn to the fact that land easements may well include an easement for the purpose of hunting and fishing. The practical necessity of using the subsoil that arises in the participants of civil legal relations, requires the regulation of this kind of easement relations at the legislative level. Ownership of an unfinished construction object is, by law, subject to state registration in the order inserted for state registration of real property rights and is immovable property, and therefore may be an object of easement. Property complexes occupy a special place in the system of civil rights objects. Although the company includes not only immovable, but also movable ones, as well as the right to trademarks and other designations, this property complex is recognized as real estate and may also be object to easement. Attention is drawn to the need of systematization of the rules regarding the objects of the easement and to amend the existing legislation accordingly.
