Key legal question
Whether the land-register entry alone defined the duration of the usufruct, making its deletion unlawful.
Extracted holding
No. In a dispute with a third acquirer, the content of the servitude may be determined from the constitutive deed and compared with the register entry; the register entry is not insulated from correction if it conflicts with the deed.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 738(1) ZGB binds the content of a servitude to the register only insofar as the entry clearly reveals rights and duties. A third acquirer may rely on the acquisition deed to show that the register entry is inaccurate and must be rectified.
