In the civil law. Property which, from its nature, destination, or the object to which it is applied, cannot move Itself, or be removed.
Immovable things are, in general, such as cannot either move themselves or be removed from one place to another. But this definition, strictly speaking, is applicable only to such things as are immovable by their own nature, and not to such as are so only by the disposition of the law. Civ. Code La. art 462; Mt Carmel Fruit Co. v. Webster, 140 Cal. 183, 73 Pac. 826; Sullivan v. Richardson, 33 Fla. 1, 14 South. 692.
