Appurtenances - Definition - Law Dictionary Home Dictionary Definition appurtenances

Definition :

Appurtenances, belonging to another thing, as hamlets to a manor, and common of pasture, turbary, etc.; liberties and services, outhouses, yards orchards, and gardens are appurtenant to a messuage, but lands cannot properly be said to be appurtenant to a messuage, Com. Dig., tit. 'Appendant and Appurtenant.' The word 'appurtenances' will be construed strictly [Re Peck, (1893) 2 Ch 315], but it has a secondary meaning equivalent to 'usually occupied with'; see Roe v. Siddons, (1888) 22 QBD 236, per Fry. (LJ).

A right of common 'appurtenant' must be the subject of a grant, express or implied by prescription; 'appendant,' is a right by common law incident to certain grants made before the Statute 'Quia Emptores' 1290 (18 Edw. 1, c. 1).

The right to compensation upon extinguishment of manorial incidents is a right appertaining to a manor; (English) L. P. Act, 1925, s. 52, replacing and extending the Conveyancing Act, 1881, s. 6.
