What is the test for establishing an implied easement and the terms to attach?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Grieve v. Huntley & Magee, 2006 BCSC 1112 (CanLII):

A party seeking to establish an implied easement and the terms to attach must establish that the purported access or road was apparent and continuous at the time the dominant tenement was purchased; access was necessary for the reasonable enjoyment of the dominant tenement; and, access was used by the defendants before the sale, for the benefit of the land sold: Ellis v. Eddy Holding Ltd. (1996), 7 R.P.R. (3d) 70 (B.C.S.C.) at ¶19. I find those conditions to have been met in this case.
