This full power [the right of property] has been summarised by one writer as being the right to the full economic and social benefit that the land affords.

  • Droit des biens et de la propriété (droit civil)
CONT

En droit civil, la pro­priété est classiquement définie par le biais de ses attributs : usus, fructus et abusus. Le droit d'usage (usus) est décrit comme la faculté de retirer de la chose les services qu'elle peut procurer, sans en percevoir les fruits — sinon l'usage se confondrait avec le jus fruendi — et sans en faire une utilisa­tion non susceptible de se renouveler — sans quoi l'usage ne se distinguerait pas du jus abutendi.
