Possession Proceedings

In law, possession proceedings are proceedings in a court of law due to a dispute over possession of a physical asset. These are common in divorce issues where the parties cannot decide on which of the two will receive possession of a particular object of value.


Famous quotes containing the words possession and/or proceedings:

    There will, however, be no one in need among you, because the LORD is sure to bless you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you as a possession to occupy, if only you will obey the LORD your God by diligently observing this entire commandment that I command you today.
    Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 15:4,5.

    And no one, it seemed, had had the presence of mind
    To initiate proceedings or stop the wheel
    From the number it was backing away from as it stopped:
    It was performing prettily; the puncture stayed unseen....
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
