- occupation
-
a mode of original acquisition of property. It is done by taking a thing, intending to be its owner. Property to wild animals is obtained in this way, a hunter becoming the owner of wild animals killed and taken. Goods lost abandoned and ownerless (called bona vacantia) fall to the Crown. It is a criminal offence not to take found things to a police station. Land in England is likely to revert to the Crown. In Scotland, land is unlikely to be obtained in this way for most land in Scotland is held feudally and thus is never ownerless.
