possession in fact

possession in fact
Actual possession, sometimes called possession in deed,–an actual and continuous occupancy or exercise of full dominion. This may be either, first, an occupancy in fact of the whole that is in possession, which is ordinarily called pedis possessio, and may be called substantial possession, or, second, an occupancy of part thereof in the name of the whole, where there is sufficient evidence of the bounds of the whole that is claimed as one entirety, and the circumstances are such that the law extends the possession of the part that is occupied to these bounds. 42 Am J1st Prop § 42.
