A Dictionary of Law
To add to; to unite; to attach one thing permanently to another. ‘The word expresses the idea of joining a smaller or subordinate thing with another, larger, or of higher importance. In the law relating to fixtures, the expression ‘annexed to the freehold” means fastened to or connected with it; mere juxtaposition, or the laying of an object, however heayy, on the freehold, does not amount to annexation.
