THE ASSIGNABILITY OF EASEMENTS IN GROSS IN AMERICAN LAW

Authors

Lewis Mallalieu Simes, Ohio State University

Abstract

In an admirable comment in the Yale Law Journal for June, 1923, signed W. R. V., it was proposed to explain the American cases on the assignability of easements in gross on the ground that those easements which are admeasurable are assignable; while others are not. This explanation is said to be derived from the law of profits. From that view of the American cases the writer respectfully dissents, and desires to show in this article that no good reason exists why easements in gross should not be held to be assignable.
