'Animus Possidendi' means :

  • A.the intent to appropriate to oneself the exclusive use of the thing possessed
  • B.the right of possession is a conception clearly easy to understand but difficult to define with exactitude
  • C.Corporal contact is not the physical element
  • D.Owner loses physical contact with the thing

Answer: A

'Animus possidendi' means the intent to appropriate to oneself the exclusive use of the thing possessed.

Possession has two elements: corpus possessionis, the physical control, and animus possidendi, the mental element. Salmond defined the latter as the intent to appropriate to oneself the exclusive use of the thing, that is, to exclude others from it.

The second option is a remark about how hard possession is to define, not a definition of the mental element. The third and fourth concern the physical element (corporal contact, loss of contact), not intention.
