Adverse possession 逆占有；对立占有；相反占有；时效占有；逆权侵占

逆权侵占（英语：adverse possession）是普通法的法律概念，指房地产的非业主不经原业主同意，持续占用对方土地超过一定的法定时限后，原业主的兴讼时限即终止，该占用者可以成为该土地的合法新业主，不必付出任何代价。与真正所有人的权利不一致的对不动产的占有。即占有人本不享有合法占有权，却如同所有人一样对地产实施事实上的、持续性的、公开的与明显的占有，并意图排除包括真正所有人在内的其他一切人的权利。这一占有状态可能为自始存在的，例如非法侵入〔trespass〕他人土地并据为己有; 也可能是后来构成的，例如起初作为合法的承租人占有土地，但后来停交租金。逆占有可以产生两个重要的法律后果：1.它使占有人的占有权利如同在其他占有情况下一样受法律保护，除非有人能证明其拥有优先的权利〔better title〕; 2.如果占有人保持这一占有状态达到一段法定时间——在英国法中为12年，若属国王或宗教与慈善机构的土地则为30年; 在美国各州法律中一般为5-20年不等——则推定该地产已被授予〔grant〕占有人。真正的所有人将丧失要求收回土地的诉权，即使其对上述占有事实并不知晓。

Adverse possession is a legal doctrine that allows a person to claim a property right in land owned by another. Common examples of adverse possession include continuous use of a private road or driveway, or agricultural development of an unused parcel of land. By favoring the adverse possessor over the true landowner, the doctrine of adverse possession rewards the productive use of land and punishes landowners who "sleep on their rights." While adverse possession alone does not result in a transfer of legal title, adverse possession gives a person a vested property right in the area possessed. Once a person meets the statutory requirements for adverse possession, he or she may initiate a quiet title action and obtain legal title to the property.

例句2

相反占有，有时通俗地称为“擅自占地者的权利”，是一项法律原则，根据该原则，对一份财产——通常是土地(不动产)——没有合法所有权的人在未经合法所有人许可的情况下持续占有或占有财产的基础上获得合法所有权。

例句3

Property right through adverse possession is very much different from our legal property theory, regarding systemic theory, judicatory practice, jurisprudent thinking.
