Article 308

De l'Usufruit

Property Law
Titre XIII: De l'Usufruit, de l'Usage et de l'Habitation (On Usufruct, Use, and Habitation)
Chapitre I: De l'Usufruit (On Usufruct)

L'usufruitier ne pourra faire aucun bois neuf, sans l'obligation expresse de planter, dans ce nouveau champ, la qualité de productions et de vivres dont le sol est susceptible.

Life lesson: Clear the forest, and you must plant the field — the usufructuary who opens new ground must make it produce. Destruction without creation is forbidden.
Notes: Restriction on forest clearing (bois neuf): usufructuary may clear land only if he plants crops/provisions suitable to the soil. Agricultural productivity obligation — uniquely Haitian concern reflecting plantation economy context.
