(c) The rights of easement must be possessed for the beneficial enjoyment of the dominant tenement.
(d) Dominant and survient owners must be different persons.
(e) The right should entitle the dominant owners to do and continue to do something or to prevent and continue to prevent something being done, in or upon, or in respect of, the servient tenement; and
(f) The something must be of a certain or well defined character and be capable of forming the subject matter of a grant.
