21 The plaintiff relies on the following propositions:
(1) That "pass and repass" are words apt to describe the use of an easement for the purposes of going to and from a particular place: see Zenere v Leate (1980) 1 BPR 9300, Butler v Muddle (1995) 6 BPR 13,984, Chiu v Healey [2003] NSWSC 857; (2003) 1 BPR 21,241.
(2) The particular place from which the easement commences is at the end of the easement on the northern boundary of Lot 14 and a particular place where it terminates is at the boundary of Lots 11 and 13. In Zenere v Leate McLelland J said at p 9307:
"A right of way connotes a right of passage between two places separated by the servient tenement. In the words of Middleton J in the High Court of Ontario: "A right of way must have a terminus a quo as well as a terminus ad quem .": Grant v Lerner (1914) 7 OWN 564 at 566. This does not exclude the possibility of two or more termini a quo where such were clearly intended. Each of the termini may be sufficiently identified in the grant but "if the deed is silent as to the place of entry, surrounding circumstances must be taken into consideration to throw light on the intention of the parties": See Goddard - The Law of Easements 8th ed p 382."
(3) The western easement is identified in deposited plan 708538: see page 6 of Exhibit A. Its commencement can be seen where the word "old" is found at the top of plan close the words "Maraya".
(4) Easements do not operate as a transfer of the land to the owner of the dominant tenement: see Zenere v Leate at p 9304 and Butler v Muddle at 13,986. The right granted to the owner of the dominant land is no greater than is necessary for the proper enjoyment of the easement and ancillary purposes.
(5) The use which is authorised is one which benefits the land and is not personal to the dominant owner: see Westfield Management Ltd v Perpetual Trustee Company Limited (2007) 233 CLR 528.
(6) An owner has a right to fence the easement: see Pettey v Parsons [1914] 2 Ch 653 and the very helpful summary of the law in relation to this area in Trewin v Felton [2007] NSWSC 851; (2007) 13 BPR 24,579 at [19] to [35], [43] to [45] per Brereton J, and McCrow v Chaplin [2009] NSWSC 965 per Brereton J.
