Gottlieb owned a cottage lot which had frontage on a lake. He later granted a 30-metre wide right of way to Baxter, who had a lot behind his, to enable Baxter to reach the lakeshore to launch his power boat. The next year, Baxter built a boathouse on the 30-metre strip in which to store his boat during the winter months. When Gottlieb discovered the boat house a few months later, he hired a bulldozer, and pushed the boathouse off the land, and into the lake. The lot owned by Baxter is the dominant tenement.

Question

The lot owned by Baxter is considered the dominant tenement because it benefits from the easement or right of way granted by Gottlieb, allowing Baxter access to the lake through Gottlieb's property.
