incorporeal possession
Possession of something other than a material object, such as an easement over a neighbor's land, or the access of light to the windows of a house. -Also termed possessio juris; quasi possession."It is a question much debated whether incorporeal possession is in reality true possession at all. Some are of opinion that all genuine possession is corporeal, and that the other is related to it by way of analogy merely. They maintain that there is no single generic conception which includes possessio corporis and possessio juris as its two specific forms. The Roman lawyers speak with hesitation and even inconsistency on the point. They sometimes include both forms under the title of possessio, while at other times they are careful to qualify incorporeal possession as quasi possessio - something which is not true possession, but is analogous to it. The question is one of no little difficulty, but the opinion here accepted is that the two forms do in truth belong to a single genus. The true idea of possession is wider than that of corporeal possession, just as the true idea of ownership is wider than that of corporeal ownership." John Salmond, Jurisprudence 288-89 (Glanville L. Williams ed., 10th ed. 1947).
