Key legal question
Whether the 28 February 1995 minutes were a valid easement constitutive contract
Extracted holding
No. A servitude contract must be in written form and signed by all persons burdened by obligations; the minutes lacked the State of Vaud's signature.
Extracted reasoning
Without signature by the owner of the dominant/servient affected obligations, the written-form requirement of Art. 732 CC and Art. 13 CO was not met, so the document was invalid.
