What are the restrictions imposed on altering the character of an easement under the Civil Transactions Law of the United Arab Emirates?
Under Article 317 of the Civil Transactions Law of the UAE, the owner of a property with an easement cannot alter its character unless the easement has become more burdensome or prevents the owner from carrying out necessary repairs. In such cases, the owner of the property can request the transfer of the easement to a different location where it can be enjoyed as easily as before.
