Legal Terms - Appurtenant
Appurtenant is an adjective. Appended or affixed to the land and augmenting the land or its utilization. An easement is required to be connected to a dominant tenement, while a profit à prendre is not necessary to have this connection. Therefore, a landowner from Sussex does not receive any advantage for his Sussex property from a permitted right of passage across land in Yorkshire. This right is not considered an easement. However, a right to hunt game over the Yorkshire land could provide a person in Sussex, whether they own land or not, with a legally acceptable profit à prendre.
