A quick definition of inaedificatio:
INAEDIFICATIO: A fancy Latin word that means building something on someone else's land or using someone else's materials to build on your own land. In ancient Rome, this was a way of adding to your property, even if the materials didn't belong to you. It was called accessio, which means adding something of lesser value to something of greater value. So, if you built a house on someone else's land, the landowner would become the owner of the house too.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Inaedificatio (in-ee-di-fi-kay-shee-oh) is a term used in Roman law that refers to the act of building on someone else's land with one's own materials or on one's own land with someone else's materials. This act is considered a form of accessio, and regardless of the source of the materials, the building becomes the property of the landowner.
Example: If John builds a shed on Mary's land using his own materials, the shed becomes Mary's property. Similarly, if John uses Mary's materials to build a shed on his own land, the shed becomes John's property.
Explanation: In both examples, the act of building on someone else's land or using someone else's materials to build on one's own land is considered inaedificatio. The shed that is built becomes the property of the landowner, regardless of who provided the materials. This is because the act of building is seen as an addition to the landowner's property, which is a form of accessio.
