The Court of Appeal in the recent case ofWee Siew Bock laid down the legal proposition_x000D_
that "a dominant owner has no proprietary interest in the [servient] land". This, it is respectfully submitted, raises doubts as to the true nature of an easement. This particular proposition is unfortunate as it will be demonstrated that an easement is indeed a proprietary interest in the servient land.
