Book Three: Original Real Rights (in Rem) · Section One: Right of Ownership · Chapter Three: Modes of Acquiring Ownership · Part Seven: Possession · 1. Claim for the Recovery of Possession

1. If the person who lost possession has not completed one year of possession from the time of its loss, they may not recover possession from a person who relies on a possession entitled to preference. Possession entitled to preference is possession based on a legal title. If neither possessor has a title or if their titles are equal, preference shall be given to the possession that is earlier in date. 2. If possession was lost by force, the possessor may, in all cases, recover their possession within the following year.
