utrubi

Read a random definition: NASD

A quick definition of utrubi:

Utrubi is a legal term from ancient Rome. It means that if two people are fighting over something they both claim to own, a judge can give it to the person who has had it for the longest time. This is called an interdict. It only applies to things that can be moved, like a chair or a book.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Utrubi (pronounced "uh-tuh-ree-bee") is a legal term from Roman law. It refers to an interdict that helps maintain the current possession of movable property until a ruling is made to determine its rightful owner.

Example: Let's say two people are fighting over a car. One person claims they bought it and have been using it for the past year, while the other person claims it was stolen from them. While the court is deciding who the rightful owner is, an utrubi interdict can be put in place to allow the person who has been using the car for the past year to keep possession of it until a final decision is made.

This example illustrates how an utrubi interdict can help maintain the status quo of possession of movable property while a legal dispute is being resolved.
