CRITERION NATURE [4 records]

Record 1 2013-03-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
OBS

(T) he true criterion of an irremovable fixture consists in the united application of several tests : 1st. Real or constructive annexation of the article in question to the realty; 2nd. Appropriation or adaptation to the use or purpose of that part of the realty with which it is connected; 3rd. The intention of the party making the annexation to make the article a permanent accession to the freehold, this intention being inferred from the nature of the article affixed, the relation and situation of the party making the annexation, and the policy of the law in relation thereto, the structure and mode of the annexation and the purpose or use for which the annexation was made. Of these three tests, the clear tendency of modern authority seems to give pre-eminence to the question of intention to make the article a permanent accession to the freehold, and the others seem to derive their chief value as evidence of such intention.(Reiter, Risk & McLellan, 2nd ed., 1982, pp. 131-2)

"What is the nature of the building's identity within the community?" This criterion evaluates the importance of a building to the community.

"Dans quelle mesure le bâtiment est-il identifié à la collectivité?" Ce critère sert à évaluer l'importance d'un bâtiment pour la collectivité. L'importance d'un bâtiment comme point d'intérêt tient en partie à des considérations d'ordre physique, comme par exemple la flèche proéminente d'un clocher ou la tour du ON; mais elle peut aussi être fondée sur la valeur symbolique d'un bâtiment pour la collectivité [...].
