1 Buildings and other structures encroaching from one parcel of land onto another remain part of the parcel from which they originate, providing their owner has a right in rem to their existence.
2 The right to encroach on neighbouring land may be recorded as an easement in the land register.
3 If an injured party fails to object in timely manner to an unauthorised encroachment, despite being aware of it, where justified in the circumstances the builder of the encroaching structure, provided he or she acted in good faith, may be granted ownership of the encroaching part thereof or of the land below it in exchange for appropriate compensation.
Si la valeur des constructions excède évidemment celle du fonds, la partie qui est de bonne foi peut demander que la propriété du tout soit attribuée au propriétaire des matériaux, contre paiement d’une indemnité équitable.
