[= Jennifer =]

dishwasher-chattel (if stated by contract: fixture)

electric stove-fixture (if one) chattel (if more than one)

television aerial attached to roof fixture

removable clothesline chattel

demountable shed chattel

is this right?

Don't you have to look at all the circumstances?

yeah I was thinking that according to Leigh v Taylor as cited in Palumberi but, the question in the discussion part of the handout for topic 2 in the back of the notes just asks to identify what is a chattel and what is a fixture out of the list given.

Also when making notes what did everyone write for the part about selling fixtures? because the examples are confusing me

NAB v Blackey affirms that all circumstances should be taken into account. The reasoning always varies with these things.

E.g. with your dishwasher example, under Abercrombie such appliance would be a chattel, if there was more than one dishwasher.
