25 marks for each part. Total 100 marks.

Model Answer

Part (a)

Comixtio refers to a situation where two different people own a solid and the become mixed

together and they are inseparable and indistinguishable. This may be, for example, where one

person’s sheep may become mixed with another person’s sheep. If the sheep have identifying

marks on them in any manner, then they may be distinguishable, therefore comixtio does not

operate.


Confusio, on the other hand, refers to a situation where two different people own a liquid

which ultimately gets mixed together and of course become inseparable from one another.


Where either of the two forms operate, the resulting property is in common ownership

according to the proportional shares or values of the constituent parts. If, for example, the

both individuals owned an equal amount of sheep that were mixed, then both would now own

one-half pro indiviso share of the sheep. Where the mixture of two liquids occur, on the other

hand, it may be that both will not be in common ownership. In the case of Tyzack & Braefoot

SteamShip Co v JS Sandeman & Sons, it was held that if one party is at fault for the mixture

occurring, then the other party owns the whole lot. The materials which have been mixed

, together must be of the same kind, otherwise this form of acquisition would not be present

and could potentially result in specification or accession. As Professor Carey Miller suggests

that soda water mixed with whisky will accede to it for example.


Part (b)


The right of a tenant to remove trade fixtures is an exception which may occur under the

original acquisition known as ‘accession’. If a tenant installs an item of property on their

rented premises that they use for their business, they are entitled to take it out and in

contrast to the normal rule if you remove a trade fixture, ownership does revert to you. The

property must be attached to the property by the tenant for the purposes of the tenant’s

trade. This right lasts throughout the length of the lease, not only at the conclusion of the

lease. The tenancy will end, and the tenant will have reasonable leeway to remove any trade

fixtures and they will still get ownership back. If you take out a trade fixture which you

installed, you need to put the rental property back into its pre-accession position.


This was examined in the case of David Boswell Ltd v William Cook Engineering Ltd. this case

involved a supplier of machinery suing the defenders because they were worried the

defenders were not paying for the machinery and the pursuers wanted their goods back

because they were worried that the defenders would not have the resources to pay for the

machinery. They raised an action for the return of the machinery. One strand of William

Cook’s defense was that they operated from rented premises and the machinery that they

provided had acceded to those rental premises and so the machinery did not belong to

William Cook, they belonged to their landlord. The pursuers pointed out that they are trade

fixtures, you are entitled to remove them, the defenders said that they could only remove the

trade fixtures at the end of the lease so they cannot supply them at the moment.


However, the court disagreed. They said that the right to remove trade fixtures arises at any

stage of the lease, not only the end, so there was no obstacle preventing the defenders from

uninstalling the machinery and thus giving them the ability to return the machinery to the

pursuers. This is not to say that accession did not occur, but the tenant is entitled to remove
