A more thorough explanation:

Dominant tenement (also known as dominant estate) refers to a property that has the right to use an easement over another property.

Let's say that Lot A has an easement over Lot B to access a water line. In this case, Lot A is the dominant tenement, and Lot B is the servient tenement. This means that Lot A has the right to use the easement on Lot B to access the water line.

Another example could be a property that has an easement over a neighboring property to access a road or driveway. In this case, the property with the easement would be the dominant tenement, and the neighboring property would be the servient tenement.

These examples illustrate the concept of dominant tenement by showing how one property can have the right to use another property for a specific purpose, such as accessing a utility or road.
