Scope and content : A friend of the Sergeant wanted to sell a piece of land with the right to redeem it. Ownership of the land needed to be verified and the contract of vendition had to include which part could be redeemed. His friend told had told him that his uncle gave the land, with a size of 20 “rai” [unit of area equal to 1,600 square meters-translator], by affection, so there was no signed transferable attestation. Later his uncle had wanted the land back, but his friend refused, and consequently his uncle sued his friend. Bodin supplied information that if the Sergeant’s friend had used the land for 10 years and no one had claimed it, his friend would possess the property. But if the original owner claimed the property within 10 years, it would become the property of the original owner immediately. He recommended the Sergeant to consult Prawin.
