English translation of the principle

Law No. 6/1961 regulating unlawful acts set out the rules of usurpation but did not define it. Recourse must be had to the Majalla of Judicial Rules for its definition. Usurpation is taking and seizing another's property without his permission. Whoever uses property under an interpretation of a contract is not obliged to compensate for the usufruct.
