Actio Confessoria is a legal term used in Roman law and civil law systems to refer to a legal action or claim brought by a person who admits to a certain fact or circumstance. This action is typically initiated by the person who confesses to a particular situation, seeking legal protection or affirmation of their rights based on that admission. The purpose of Actio Confessoria is to establish legal certainty and resolve disputes by allowing individuals to assert their rights or defend their interests based on their own voluntary admission.
Actio Confessoria is a legal action in Roman law that allows a person to claim ownership or possession of a property against someone who is interfering with their rights. The action can be used to establish ownership or possession of a property, or to defend against a claim of ownership or possession by another party. It is typically used in cases where there is a dispute over the boundaries of a property or where there is a claim of adverse possession. The plaintiff must prove that they have a valid claim to the property and that the defendant is interfering with their rights. If successful, the plaintiff may be awarded damages or an order requiring the defendant to stop interfering with their rights.
