Statutory incidents of ownership: An enactment setting out the basic obligations incidental to land ownership would have obvious advantages: and it is thought that such an enactment might cover a wider field than the present common law rights to the support of land by land and to the natural flow of water.

Briefly, the right of an owner of land contiguous to a natural watercourse to have the beneficial and reasonable use on that land of water flowing in such a watercourse.

The riparian right is real property. It is not the ownership of the particles of water in a watercourse, nor the corpus of the stream. It is a usufructuary right, a usufruct. The right exists as a natural and inherent incident of the ownership of riparian land.(Cartwright, 1977, p. 827).

Bearing in mind the variety of circumstances which can exist, it is suggested that it would be a mistake to attempt to include by statute too much within the category of incidents of ownership. (Law Commission (U.K.), Working Paper no. 36, 1971, p. 18).

  • Real Estate
DEF

A lease that, from the point of view of the lessee, transfers substantially all the benefits and risks incident to ownership of property to the lessee.

CONT

Normally, only assets which are legally owned by a company are recorded as fixed assets in their financial statements. Certain leases, however, are considered to be merely another means of financing the acquisition of an asset. In these cases, the lessee carries substantially all of the risks and benefits associated with property ownership. In those situations, the accounting profession has concluded that it is more appropriate to reflect the substance, rather than the form, of these transactions in financial statements. Consequently, leases of this type (referred to as capital leases) are recorded as if the lessee had actually acquired the asset and assumed a liability. The asset is recorded at its fair market value, and the liability is recorded as the present value of future lease payments.

OBS

Not to be confused with operating lease.
