Ownership

Ownership
Ownership is a complex juristic concept which has its origin in the Ancient Roman Law. In Roman law ownership and possession were respectively termed as ‘dominium’ and ‘possessio’. The term dominium denotes absolute right to a thing while possessio implied only physical control over it. They gave more importance to ownership because in their opinion it is more important to have absolute right over a thing than to have physical control over it.
