confusion of goods

Read a random definition: rollover

A quick definition of confusion of goods:

Confusion of goods is when things that are the same but belong to different people get mixed up, and it becomes impossible to tell them apart. If this happens on purpose by one person, they lose all rights to the property unless the goods can be separated or are of equal value. It's like mixing different liquids or dry items together, and it's also called intermixture of goods or confusio bonorum.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Confusion of goods refers to the mixing of items of the same kind that belong to different owners, making it impossible to identify the original items. If the mixing is done with the consent of all owners, they become co-owners. However, if one person mixes the items without consent, they lose all rights to the property unless the items can be separated or the mixed items have equal value.

Example: John and Jane both own bags of wheat. They accidentally mix their bags together, making it impossible to tell which bag belongs to whom. If they both agree to become co-owners of the mixed wheat, they can do so. However, if John mixed the bags without Jane's consent, he would lose all rights to the wheat unless he can separate the bags or the mixed wheat has equal value to the original bags.

Explanation: This example illustrates confusion of goods because the bags of wheat are of the same kind and belong to different owners. The mixing of the bags makes it impossible to identify which bag belongs to whom. If John and Jane agree to become co-owners, they can do so. However, if John mixed the bags without Jane's consent, he would lose all rights to the wheat unless he can separate the bags or the mixed wheat has equal value to the original bags.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)

Give it 4 more weeks at least. Everyone in this chat needs to wait longer.

It is frustrating when people are admitted who applied after you. But that’s just part of the game I guess
