A landowner gives a neighbour one-time permission to enter the land and retrieve the neighbour’s trapped cows. The permission creates no interest in the land or right attached to other land. How is the permission classified?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
A licence under section 52 permits an act on another person’s immovable property without creating an easement or a property interest. Here the right tested is the landowner’s permission to enter. Ownership of the cows does not make that permission an actionable claim.
Option feedback
Option A
The permission is to enter land. It is not a claim to an unsecured debt or to a beneficial interest in movable property outside the claimant’s possession.
Option B
The permission is personal and is not attached to the beneficial enjoyment of other land.
Option C
The landowner permits a limited act on the property without creating an easement or an interest in the land.
Option D
The permission for a single act does not grant a right to enjoy the property as a tenant.
