KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Land
Land refers to those parts of the earth’s surface that can legally be owned and fall within the jurisdiction of a court. In law, land ownership extends beyond the surface itself to include the airspace above and the subsoil below, based on the traditional maxim that ownership stretches “up to the heavens and down to the depths.”
Under the Law of Property Act 1925, land includes not only the physical ground but also buildings, minerals, and various legal interests attached to it. Objects fixed permanently to land, such as structures or fixtures, are treated as part of the land. This broad definition ensures that property rights cover both tangible and certain intangible interests associated with land.
