| 单词 | acquisitive prescription |
| 释义 | acquisitive prescription acquisitive prescription gaining a right over land (especially an EASEMENT or profit) by passage of time. At common law a right could only be acquired prescriptively if use, enjoyment or benefit (user) as of right could be shown to have been enjoyed from 'time immemor- ial'. For this purpose, the year 1189 was fixed as the limit of legal memory, so that any right enjoyed at that date was unchallengeable. In practice, however, it was impossible to demonstrate this, so by the middle of the 19th century 20 years' uninterrupted use was sufficient to found a claim at common law (see also LOST MODERN GRANT). |
