The appellate court dismissed a complaint seeking the deletion of a right of way easement based on its alleged meaninglessness under Article 976 of the Civil Code, affirming the lower authority's refusal to delete the entry. The court reasoned that the Land Registry Administrator has only a limited power of review in such summary proceedings, restricted primarily to formal legal questions and manifestly obvious facts that would destroy third-party good faith, noting that determining whether the easement has become impossible to exercise or purposeless due to the removal of a road or quarrying involves assessing substantive property law, which must be reserved for a civil action, even if the parties agree on the underlying facts.
