Profit à prendre

A right to take something from another's land (the servient land) that is both:
  • Capable of ownership; and
  • A product of nature.
Typical profits à prendre include:
  • The removal of part of the land itself, for example, soil or minerals.
  • Taking something growing on the land, for example, timber, turf or grass. This includes "taking" by animals, for example, a right to graze sheep or pasture cattle.
  • The killing of wildlife living on the land, for example, rights of hunting and fishing.
