Question

A fixture is an object that formerly was personal property but has become real property. Of the following four rules for determining whether an object has become a fixture, which is the most dominant (i.e., if there is a conflict, which rule prevails)?A. Manner of the attachment
B. Character of the article and manner of adaptation
C. Intention of the parties
D. Relation of the parties

Answer 1

Answer:

C). Intention of the parties.

Explanation:

As per the question, the most dominant rule would include the 'intention of the parties' that would assist in determining if an object has turned a fixture or not. An item is usually attached to a property only with the permission/intention of the party and their agreement to make it permanent as then only it is considered as a fixture. The other options would play a subservient role in converting a personal property into a fixture while the intent plays the primary role. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
