Building

- Everything built on or attached to the land forms part of the land as accessory, the principal
being the land.
o Omne quod inaedificatio solo cedit
- The owner of the land therefore owns also that which is attached to the land, or to a building on
the land.
- Whether building has led to accession is a question of fact.
o In other words, the facts must be scrutinized in terms of the legal framework to decide
whether accession has occurred.

- Underlying principles are publicity and protection of ownership.
