Carter on Easements is the first comprehensive textbook on the law of easements in Canada. The precise meaning of an easement and its impact in the real world can be highly technical and steeped in English legal history making it difficult for the average practitioner and real property owner or developer to understand. Issues covered include the intention to create an easement, the differences between a lease or a licence, equitable and statutory easements, rights and obligations, and many other important concepts.
