Definition of nulla sasina, nulla terra
nulla sasina, nulla terra
Nulla sasina, nulla terra is a legal term used in Scots law. It means that there can be no ownership of land until the person has been officially granted ownership. In other words, if someone has not been given the right to own land, they cannot claim it as their own.
For example, if John claims that he owns a piece of land, but he has not been officially granted ownership, then he cannot use the phrase "nulla sasina, nulla terra" to claim the land as his own. The phrase is used to emphasize that ownership of land is not automatic and must be legally granted.
A lawyer is a person who writes a 10,000-word document and calls it a 'brief'.
