1. FIXTURE VS CHATTEL

1. Is there a presumption (Holland v Hodgson)?
○ If it is fixed to the land by more than its own weight = presumed fixture. The onus lies on the person asserting otherwise.
○ If it is fixed merely by its own weight = presumed not a fixture. The onus lies on the person asserting otherwise.

2. Is there an intention otherwise (Reid v Smith)?
○ What was the degree of annexation?
■ Leigh v Taylor: tapestry attached to the house by tenant so it could be removed at the end of lease = held, not fixture.
■ Barlin-Scott Air Conditioning: air conditioning unit was affixed by its own weight, but positioning and connection to the building made it an essential part of the building = held fixture.
