PRAVO LOVA U RIMSKOM PRAVU

Abstract

In Roman law, in principle, there was a free right to hunt, which was reflected on the one hand in the treatment of wild animals as ownerless things (res nullius), and on the other hand as the hunter‘s right to freely access the other people's land for the purpose of hunting. With the strengthening of private ownership, free hunting increasingly represented, from the point of view of the landowner, entering in the domain of his ownership rights, which is why a balance had to be made between the right to free hunting and the owner's property interests. The paper deals with the acquisition of ownership over game, as well as the historical development of the relationship between free hunting and ownership.
