The word 'possessio' denotes :

  • A.the absolute right to a thing
  • B.physical control over a thing
  • C.absolute justice
  • D.hohfeldian philosophy of right

Answer: B

'Possessio' denotes physical control over a thing.

In Roman law possessio was the fact of holding and controlling a thing, protected by the praetor's interdicts, as distinct from dominium, ownership. Its physical element is called corpus and its mental element animus.

The absolute right to a thing is ownership (dominium), not possession; a thief can possess without owning. 'Absolute justice' and Hohfeld's analysis of jural relations have nothing to do with the term.
