The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary

Walter A. Shumaker and George Foster Longsdorf; ed. James C. Cahill · 1922

The right of enjoyment which is incident to full ownership or property, and is often used to denote the full ownership or property itself. It is distinguished from jus in re aliena, which is a mere easement or right in or over the property of another. JUS INCOGNITUM (Lat.) An unknown law. This term is applied by the civilians to obsolete laws, which, as Bacon truly observes, are unjust; for the law, to be just, must give warning before it strikes. Bac. Aph. 8, § 1; Bowyer, Mod. Civ. Law, 33. But until it has become obsolete, no custom can prevail against it. See "Obsolete." JUS INDIVIDUUM (Law Lat.) An individual or indivisible right; a right incapable of division. 36 Eng. Law & Eq. 25. JUS JURANDI FORMA VERBIS DIFing an oath differs in language, agrees in meaning; for it ought to have this sense, — that the Deity is invoked. Grotius de Jure Belli, lib. 2, c. 13, § 10.
