O SLUČAJEVIMA PRIRAŠTAJA (ACCESSIO) POKRAJ JAVNIH REKA U RIMSKOM PRAVU

Abstract

The change in the river course, formation of a river island, as well as the increase or decrease in the area of plots that stretched along public rivers, it caused significant property consequences for the owners of coastal land. Roman jurists discussed these cases a lot in the context of acquisition of property by accessio. This is understandable, because for the agrarian society of that time, in which a good part of agricultural production was concentrated on fertile land along public rivers, it was important to regulate the acquisition and possible loss of ownership due to changes caused by the action of water. Bearing in mind the above, the author deals in the paper with alluvion (alluvio), avulsion (avulsio), abandoned river bed (alveus derelictus) and the formation of a river island (insula in flumine nata) as minor things, which were according to Roman law under certain conditions have added to the land beside the river so that the owner of that land as the owner main things, acquired ownership over those minor things by accessio.
