utility servitude

I don’t entirely disagree with 'easement' BUT French law in this area is strongly based on Roman foundations. Easements are the product of common law and are only broadly equivalent. Any English language legal dictionary will contain 'servitude' so it should be used here imo.

The 'réseaux' fall into water, gas, electricity, telephone etc supply routes.

I suggest servitude not as a Scottish law twr per Adrian MM, but as the straight translation inro English of the Civil Law term.

The term servitude is also used in PROPERTY LAW. In this context, servitude is used with the term easement, a right of some benefit or beneficial use out of, in, or over the land of another. Although the terms servitude and easement are sometimes used as synonyms, the two concepts differ. A servitude relates to the servient estate or the burdened land, whereas an EASEMENT refers to the dominant estate, which is the land benefited by the right. Not all servitudes are easements because they are not all attached to other land as APPURTENANCES (an appurtenance is an appendage or that which belongs to something else).

At CIVIL LAW, real servitudes are divided into two types: rural and urban. Rural servitudes are established for the benefit of a landed estate; examples include a right of way over a servient tenement and a right of access to a spring, sandpit, or coal mine. Urban servitudes are established for the benefit of one building over another; some examples are a right of support, a right to a view, and a right to light. Despite the name urban servitude, the buildings do not have to be in a city.

Servitudes are also classified as positive and negative. A positive servitude requires the owner of the servient estate to permit something to be done on her property by another. A negative servitude does not bind the servient owner in this manner but merely restrains her from using the property in a manner that would impair the easement enjoyed by the owner of the dominant estate.

wayleave

'When in doubt, call it a wayleave'.

No need to add utilities - the electric pylons, telephone lines, gas and water connections are implied throughout the EN-speaking world.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Daryo : "la servitude" could be for any type of beneficiary, like a neighbour with no access to their own land directly from a public highway, not only utilities. It's not ALWAYS "obvious by implication".

Another muddled and biased comment that does not properly analyse a wayleave, plus servitude, as I keep writing, is a Scots law term for easement in E&W. // Anyway, you seem to have learned a new word, even if you don't fully understand the term.
disagree Eliza Hall : Much too broad ("right-of-way" is the US term and would be wrong for the same reason). This is specifically a utility easement, not a general right to cross land. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/wayleave

Another muddled and biased comment that does not properly analyse a wayleave, plus servitude, as I keep writing, is a Scots law term for easement in E&W. // Even so, you again seem to have learned a new ÜK land law term.

right of way (or servitude)

as used in Quebec
Peer comment(s):

agree Libby Cohen : Absolutely. Term used in Quebec/Canada on power and telecom installation projects.

Thank you, Libby!
disagree Eliza Hall : Much too broad. Same problem as Adrian's answer. This is a specific type of easement/servitude, not a general right-of-way.

disagree AllegroTrans : No this is not a simple right of way, it involves public utitlities
