What is the extent of annexation of a building by a neighbouring town to a neighbouring community?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Royal Bank of Canada v. Saskatchewan Telecommunications, 1985 CanLII 2377 (SK CA):
It seems clear that the degree of annexation was slight, and therefore likely related to providing a firm and stable base for the diesel equipment installed in the buildings rather than to make the building more of a permanent fixture. The reasonable assumption is that the buildings were merely bolted to the timbers so they could be readily moved elsewhere if the need arose. In these circumstances, the decision of this court in Morrison v. Thomas, 1922 CanLII 183 (SK CA), [1922] 1 W.W.R. 215, supports the conclusion that the buildings in this case are chattels and not fixtures.
