Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant was entitled to a necessary passage under Art. 694 CC
Solution extraite
No; he had deliberately created the state of necessity by shaping and dividing his property in knowledge of its insufficient access.
Motifs extraits
A necessary passage may be refused where the owner intentionally brought about the necessity or acted contrary to good faith; here the appellant deliberately configured his land and accepted an insufficient access, so the claim was abusive.
