About this document
Ownership and Possession in Early Common Law by Ankit Tripathi is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This article examines the distinction between ownership and possession in early English common law and debates the extent to which it was influenced by Roman law. It discusses how the early common law developed in the 12th century under King Henry II and analyzes two key concepts in property law - ius (right) and seisina (seisin). While some viewed these as equivalent to the Roman concepts of ownership and possession, others argue they must be understood in the context of feudal relationships between lords
