Abstract
The recodification of Czech private law brought about fundamental conceptual changes, new rules, new and old-new terminology and institutes. One of the changes introduced in the new Civil Code, Act No. 89/2012 Coll., As amended, is the return to the classic division of easements into servitude and real burden and the introduction of the institute of the necessary passage, which is not classified as a servant but a restriction of private property, which raises many controversial issues related to its establishment.
