Legal Definitions - fructus percepti

FRUCTUS PERCEPTI

Fructus percepti is a Latin term that means "gathered fruits." In Roman and civil law, it refers to the fruits that have been collected or harvested.

Examples of fructus percepti include:

• Apples that have been picked from a tree
• Corn that has been harvested from a field
• Grapes that have been collected from a vineyard

These examples illustrate the concept of fructus percepti because they are all fruits that have been gathered or harvested. Once these fruits have been collected, they become the property of the person who gathered them.
