Key legal question
Whether the two servitudes had lost all utility under Art. 736 CC and had to be deleted from the land register.
Extracted holding
Yes. The servitudes were tied to the original petrol-station purpose; their current use for vehicle storage was a manifest change of purpose, and no concrete probability of renewed use in the original manner was shown.
Extracted reasoning
The constitutive deed, interpreted under the principle of trust, allowed only the operation of a petrol station and the necessary vehicle passage and brief parking. Under the identity principle, the servitude cannot be maintained for another purpose. Because the installations had partly been dismantled and no concrete future reactivation was likely, the owner of the servient land could demand deletion.
