Intends to look in a coherent fashion at the topic of possession in Law from a comparative and historical perspective. This volume attempts to answer questions such as: Why protect possession? How is possession understood in civilian legal systems and in the common law? What are the remedies provided by the law for the sheer fact of possession?

Civilian Law, in contrast to common law, structures its law of wrongs according to degree of blameworthiness. This book explores the history of this structure from Roman law to modern French law, and argues that adopting such a division would clarify confusions in the common law of torts.
