reservation
n. 1. (in international law) A unilateral statement made by a state, when signing, ratifying, accepting, approving, or acceding to a treaty, in order to exclude or modify the legal effect of certain provisions of the treaty in their application to that state. This device is used by signatory states to exempt particular policies from challenge. The UK has made one reservation in relation to the right to education in Article 2 of the First Protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights. The Human Rights Act 1998 also excludes public authorities from duties under Article 2 where this reservation applies. 2. (in land law) The creation of an easement or other right in a conveyance of land that is for the benefit of land retained by the vendor or transferor. For example, if A is selling Blackacre but requires a right of way over it for access to land he is retaining, the conveyance of Blackacre to the purchaser will reserve the right of way for the benefit of A’s retained land. Such a reservation may be implied in circumstances of necessity. See easement of necessity. |
