Abstract
Professor Alexander's final monograph is an exploration of what he has termed "human flourishing theory." Human flourishing theory holds that the ownership of private property carries with it obligations to foster human flourishing-whether of individual neighbours or local communities. This Article examines two cases in the British law of easements and servitudes, where the judiciary expanded the scope of doctrines of land law so as to uphold the legal right of neighbours to use private land.
