An action for recovery of possession. May not be defended against by an action concerning the right.

دعوى استرداد الحيازة. عدم جواز دفعها بدعوى الحق. علة ذلك:أنها تقوم على رد الاعتداء غير المشروع على الحيازة دون النظر إلى صفة واضع اليد أو التعرض لبحث الحق. كفاية أن يكون لرافعها حيازة مادية حالة تجعل يده متصلة بالعقار إتصالاً فعلياً وقت وقوع الغصب. - 821 - ملكية
