Practice question
An owner proves all requirements for a compulsory right of way, including isolation not caused by the owner's acts and willingness to pay proper indemnity. Route A is shorter but would seriously disrupt the servient estate. Route B is longer and is established to be the least prejudicial suitable route. The owner insists that distance alone requires Route A. Which conclusion follows from Article 650?
- Route A must be selected solely because it is shorter.
- Route B should be selected under the least-prejudice rule.
- The owner may occupy both routes without proceedings.
- The servient estate loses ownership of its entire property.
- The owner may refuse indemnity because Route B is longer.
