Primes

• Property Rights
  • The two often coincide — possession is frequently treated as presumptive evidence of a right — but they are conceptually distinct, and a regime can recognize a right in a party who does not currently possess the resource at all (a landlord who has leased out a building still owns it).

    This sourceArgues for the in rem, exclusion-centered nature of property and the relation among possession, recognized claims, and the bundle metaphor; supports the distinction between physical possession and an enforceable right and the legal differentiation of entitlements and exclusion doctrines.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
