The custom of a manor and place is to be observed.

Explanation

Each manor and locality may have its own established customs that bind the inhabitants and the courts — these local customs are not extinguished by the general law but coexist with it.

Where this applies

• A neighborhood has its own established customs about shared land use.
• Local property customs differ from the general law of the state.
