# Art. 746. Exoneration from responsibility by abandonment of the servient estate.

If the act establishing the servitude binds the owner of the servient estate to make the necessary works at his own expense, he may exonerate himself by abandoning the servient estate or the part of it on which the servitude is granted to the owner of the dominant estate.
