Examples
-
It is also extinguished when surrendered to the owner by the usufructuary (though transfer to a third person is inoperative); and again, conversely, by the fructuary becoming owner of the thing, this being called consolidation.
The Institutes of Justinian John Baron Moyle 1891
-
After a possessor in good faith has acquired the ownership of a slave by usucapion, everything which the slave acquires belongs to him without distinction; but a fructuary cannot acquire ownership of a slave in this way, because in the first place he does not possess the slave at all, but has merely a right of usufruct in him, and because in the second place he is aware of the existence of another owner.
The Institutes of Justinian John Baron Moyle 1891
-
I shall never consent to the revocation of it, nor be persuaded to restore yourself to you again; for I shall esteem my properly in you more than the brevets or letters patents of Kjngs, or the donation of Constantine; and you shall be but a usu-fructuary of yourself.
Collins's peerage of England; genealogical, biographical, and historical 1812
