Hellawell v Eastwood (1851) examines the distinction between fixtures and chattels in property law, focusing on whether items attached to land become part of it. The case determined the degree and purpose of annexation, offering legal guidance on ownership and rights when dealing with fixtures.
Fixtures vs Chattels: An object’s classification as a fixture or chattel depends on its attachment to the land or property. Items fixed for stability but easily removable without damage are considered chattels and not fixtures.
