Property law

Owning a thing by its union with your own

In property law, accession is a mode of acquiring ownership in which a person gains title to something because it becomes joined to, or is produced by, property they already own: the owner of a cow owns its calf, and the owner of land owns what is built into it. When one person's materials or labour are added to another's property, the law of accession decides who ends up owning the combined thing and what, if anything, must be paid to the other. The referent is a rule of original acquisition keyed to physical or productive union, not a state joining a treaty or a record entering an archive, which carry the same word for unrelated acts of formal joining.[1]

Title to the augmented or combined thing

Measured by
Determined by whether the addition is severable, whose contribution predominates, and the relative value of the materials and labour joined
