Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

A person entitled to the immediate possession of specific personal property may recover the same in the manner provided by the Code of Civil Procedure.
