A quick definition of secondary use:
Secondary use refers to a type of use that happens after the original use of something. For example, a building that was originally used as a store might later be used as a dance club. This is different from temporary or occasional use. Another term for secondary use is shifting use, which means that the use changes when a certain event happens.A more thorough explanation:
Definition: A use arising from the occurrence of a certain event that terminates the preceding use.
Example: A property is given to A for the use of B, but then to C when D pays $1,000 to E. In this example, C has a secondary use that arises when D makes the specified payment.
This type of use is also known as a shifting use and is a type of conditional limitation. It occurs when a certain event happens, and the use of the property shifts from one person to another. The example illustrates how the use of the property changes from B to C when D pays $1,000 to E.
