In Louisiana, the extinction of predial servitudes is governed primarily by Civil Code articles 751 through 774. However, a comprehensive treatment of the topic requires an analysis not only of certain provisions found elsewhere in the Code, but also an understanding of related fundamental principles. The various Code provisions concerning extinction of predial servitudes incorporate traditional civilian concepts and, for the most part, have equivalents in the Civil Codes of France, Germany, and Greece. This study presents a systematic analysis of Louisiana law governing the extinction of predial servitudes. For purposes of comparison, brief reference will be made to the laws of France, Germany, and Greece.
