ABSTRACT
Possession of land as a legal concept continues to confound, and perhaps it always will. On the one hand, it is a simple concept and primarily that is because it has a counterpart under a general conceptual scheme. It is the having of the land for oneself. On the other hand, it is misperceived because, when law acquired a possession of land concept, it overlaid it with technicalities that have been misunderstood. If we look at the possession concept in legal usage, we may find that much of possession’s understanding as a decisive and reliable concept is being undermined by making out that its content has an argumentative character. Ironically, the result often is that what is thought of as an applied possession concept is not referring to possession at all. Rather, the argument has only made a claim on a concept-term.
