Definition of constitutum possessorium
Definition:Constitutumpossessorium is a Latin term that means "possessory agreement." It refers to a type of constructive delivery in Roman law where mediate possession is transferred while the immediate control or custody remains in the transferor. It also refers to the agreement by which this transfer is brought about.
For example, if someone buys goods from a warehouseman, the goods are delivered to the buyer when the warehouseman agrees to hold them on the buyer's account. The goods remain in the warehouse, but the buyer has control over them.
In the context of a security interest, the pledged property may remain in the possession of the debtor, but as a bailee of the creditor.
Constitutum possessorium is one of three types of constructive delivery. The other two are attornment and brevi manu.
