grant
“grant” means a register document of title in Form 5b (that is to say, in the form appropriate under this Act to land held under Registry title in perpetuity);
Any such grant may, so far as the interest of the grantor permits, be either in perpetuity or for any term of years.
There shall be implied in every such grant the grant of all such ancillary rights as may be reasonably necessary for the full and effective enjoyment thereof.
Any such grant may contain an agreement between the proprietors of the dominant and servient lands binding either or both to pay for, or contribute towards, the cost of constructing, maintaining or repairing any way, wall, drain or other installation or work forming the subject matter of the easement.
Any such agreement, and any agreement in a grant for the making of periodic payments by way of consideration therefor, shall be binding on the proprietor by whom it is entered into in respect only of the period during which his proprietorship continues to subsist, and, in respect of any subsequent period, shall be binding on his successor in title for the time being.
proprietor
“proprietor” means any person or body for the time being registered as the proprietor of any alienated land;
