Questão jurídica principal
Whether the servitude 'common courtyard' also covered the area east/southeast of the respondent's building, so as to prohibit storage and goods handling there.
Decisão extraída
No. The term 'common courtyard' was interpreted as the area between the two houses; the disputed eastern area was not included.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 738 ZGB, the land register entry is decisive; the wording and the context of the original arrangement did not support extending the servitude beyond the courtyard area between the buildings. The appellant's reliance on a broader use or on the subdivision rules did not justify a wider reach.
