A quick definition of common of pasture:
Common of pasture is a legal right that allows someone to let their animals graze on someone else's land. This right can come from long-standing practice or a written agreement. There are different types of common of pasture, including appendant, appurtenant, and in gross. It can also refer to a tract of land set aside for public use.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Common of pasture is a legal right to use someone else's land for grazing animals.
There are different types of common of pasture:
- Common appendant: A tenant's right to graze animals on the landowner's land as a result of long-standing practice.
- Common appurtenant: A landowner's right to graze animals on another's land as a result of a written grant relating to the ownership or occupancy of land.
- Common in gross: A right to graze animals on another's land as a result of a written grant unrelated to ownership or occupancy of land.
For example, if a farmer has a common appendant, they have the right to graze their animals on the landowner's land because it has been a long-standing practice. If a landowner has a common appurtenant, they have the right to graze their animals on another's land because of a written grant relating to the ownership or occupancy of land.
Common of pasture can also refer to a tract of land set aside for the general public's use. For instance, a park or a nature reserve can be considered a common of pasture.
