Article 185Change in Nature of Possession

第百八十五条(占有の性質の変更)

If it is assumed, due to the nature of the title, that a possessor does not have the intention to own, the nature of the possessor's possession does not change unless that possessor manifests the intention to own to the person that put the thing under that person's possession, or commences possession under a new title with an intention to own from that time.

権原の性質上占有者に所有の意思がないものとされる場合には、その占有者が、自己に占有をさせた者に対して所有の意思があることを表示し、又は新たな権原により更に所有の意思をもって占有を始めるのでなければ、占有の性質は、変わらない。
