“Considered in its legal aspect, an immovable, that is to say, a piece of land, includes the following elements:
1. A determinate portion of the earth’s surface.
2. The ground beneath the surface down to the centre of the world. All the pieces of land in England meet together in one terminable point at the earth’s centre.
3. Possibly the column of space above the surface ad infinitum.” [4]
