The Consequences of Possession

Intends to look in a coherent fashion at the topic of possession in Law from a comparative and historical perspective. This volume attempts to answer questions such as: Why protect possession? How is possession understood in civilian legal systems and in the common law? What are the remedies provided by the law for the sheer fact of possession?

Possession is a topic which has been researched for centuries, yet there is a surprising dearth of comparative materials and also very little available in English about the law of non-Anglophone jurisdictions. Leaving aside the question of what possession is, this analysis concerns itself with the law''s response to ''possession''. The volume comprises contributions from some very distinguished scholars from the civilian tradition (Germany, Italy) as well as the common law (England) and mixed legal systems (Quebec, Scotland, South Africa).
