                     PROPERTY 3D: SERVITUDES




                                    CHAPTER 1. DEFINITIONS

  § 1.1 Servitude Defined; Scope of Restatement

  Pa.2021. Cit. in sup. In a dispute between owners of adjacent commercial properties that were formerly
  under common  ownership, plaintiff filed an action for declaratory judgment and to quiet title against
  defendant, seeking to resolve the issue of whether a lease restriction between defendant's predecessor's
  tenant and its subtenant applied to plaintiff's property under a non-disturbance and attornment
  agreement that defendant's predecessor entered into with the subtenant before the parties' properties
  were divided. After a bench trial, the trial court found that defendant's predecessor did not agree to a
  restrictive covenant that would encumber plaintiff's property. This court affirmed, holding that the
  agreement did not create a restrictive covenant under Restatement Third of Property: Servitudes § 1.1.
  The court reasoned that the agreement did not explicitly create a restrictive covenant and there was no
  indication that defendant intended to create a restrictive covenant. Market Square Properties
  Development,  LLC  v. TGRG,  LLP, 257 A.3d 716, 720.

  Tenn.2021. Subsec. (1) and com. (a) quot. in sup.; coms. (b) and (d) cit. in sup. Landowners sued
  neighbor, alleging that restrictive covenants, created by the developers who originally subdivided the
  land encompassing the parties' properties, precluded defendant from operating a business on his
  premises. The trial court entered judgment for plaintiffs. The court of appeals affirmed. This court
  reversed, holding, inter alia, that the developers lacked the authority to effectively create the restrictive
  covenants, because they no longer owned the land at the time they recorded the covenants. The court
  relied on Restatement Third of Property: Servitudes § 1.1 in defining restrictive covenants as devices
  that could become servitudes if they were effectively created and ran with the land. Phillips v. Hatfield,
  624 S.W.3d 464, 473.

  Tex.App.2020.  Subsec. (1) cit. in case cit. in sup. Owners of mineral interests in real property sued,
  among  others, owner of surface rights and lessee of surface estate, alleging that defendants'
  development of the surface property as a solar farm impaired plaintiffs' rights to access and develop
  mineral interests under the surface. The trial court granted defendants' motion for partial summary
  judgment. This court reversed in part and remanded on other grounds, holding that the accommodation
  doctrine applied such that plaintiffs' mineral interests could not bar defendants' development of the
  surface, so long as plaintiffs had a reasonable alternative to pursue development of the minerals. Citing
  Restatement Third of Property: Servitudes § 1.1(1), the court noted that, while plaintiffs' mineral
  interests were dominant over defendants' surface interests, plaintiffs' interests were not absolute. Lyle v.
  Midway  Solar, LLC, 618 S.W.3d  857, 868.

  § 1.2 Easement and  Profit Defined

  U.S.2021. Subsec. (3) quot. in diss. op. Growers of strawberries and table grapes sued members of
  state's agricultural labor relations board in their official capacity, alleging that a regulation promulgated
