Legal Definitions - fructus separati

FRUCTUS SEPARATI

Fructus separati is a Latin term used in Roman and civil law. It refers to the produce of something that has been separated from it. In legal terms, this produce is known as "fruits."

Examples of fructus separati include:

• Fruit that has been picked from a tree
• Crops that have been harvested from a field
• Milk that has been extracted from a cow

These examples illustrate the definition of fructus separati because they all involve the separation of a product from its source. Once separated, these products become legally recognized as "fruits."
