Abstract

The Argentine Law recognizes that an individual can exercise her power over a thing (possession in a broad sense) and states that this relationship creates certain consequences without paying attention to its legal background or the entitlements at stake. There are two types of power relationships named “posesión” and “tenencia”, and the mechanism that allows a person to move from one type to the other is called “interversión”. The article studies what are the legal requirements for “interversión” to take place.
