Abstract

Easement is a new system in the Real Rights Law of China. In Chapter 14 of the Real Rights Law, 14 articles are used to give the framework provisions for the basic issues about easement. From the viewpoint of legal interpretation, the Writer analyzes the possible constitutionality-related doubts in Article 166 and 167 of the Real Rights Law, in the hope that the academic circle will pay attention to the defects in legislative techniques of the Real Rights Law, and formulate the corresponding countermeasures.

    For the cause for the deletion of the provisions about partial transfer of “the right to use house site”, the Writer thinks that they are in conflict with Article 153 of the Real Rights Law: “the acquisition, exercise and transfer of the right to use house site are subject to the Land Administration Law and other laws and relevant national regulations”. However, subject to Paragraph 4, Article 2 of the Land Administration Law: “after selling and leasing the house, if the rural villagers re-apply for the home site, the application will not be approved.” In essence, it is prohibited to independently transfer the home site, and it can only be transferred pursuant to “land subject to house” based on the house transfer.

    Space is subject to land. Even if no explicit provisions are laid down in the laws, from the perspective of natural interpretation, we should believe that the provisions for banning the transfer of land in the Constitution are applicable for space.
