à la charge de

English translation: inuring to the burden (of xyz as a party); operating over (xyz = land) as a servient tenement

Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / Conveyancing
French term or phrase: à la charge de
Swiss French > English

The context is an extract from the Swiss Land Register.
i.e. easement "à la charge de" XYZ

I'm interested to know how others would translate this seemingly harmless little phrase in this context.

"payable by"
"charged to"
"borne by"
etc.

Elsewhere "en faveur de" is used as an alternative in the French, so NOT "in favour of".

Thanks in advance!

English translation:inuring to the burden (of xyz as a party); operating over (xyz = land) as a servient tenement
Explanation:
It would help to know if xyz is a person or land.

Normally easements (servitudes) are, in E&W (in Scotland are known as servitudes; PACE ALLEGRO), regd. land charges running with the land and encumbering ('impacting') a servient tenement or benefitting a dominant tenement, and not specific to a specific party.

Difficult to see how can both benefit n faveur de and burden the same landowner, unless there are cross-easements.

Then it is a negative easement inuring (and not insuring!) to the burden vs. benefit of the corp. etc.

imposed upon


Explanation:
En France, le mot servitude comprend une notion d'obligation, de renoncement à une part de sa propriété.
"Servitude", d'après le Larousse:
"Charge imposée et attachée à un fonds (fonds servant) au profit d'un autre fonds (fonds dominant).
Restriction au droit de propriété immobilière instituée au nom de l'intérêt général."

Then it is a negative easement inuring (and not insuring!) to the burden vs. benefit of the corp. etc.

Example sentence(s):
  • An affirmative (E&W: positive easement) is the right to use land For example, an affirmative easement might allow land owner
  • The party gaining the benefit of the easement is the dominant estate (or dominant tenement), while the party granting the benefit or suffering the burden is the servient estate (or servient tenement)
