Titre III:
Des Assurances
(On Insurance)
Chapitre III:
Des Prescriptions
(On Prescriptions)
Le capitaine ne peut obtenir la propriété d'un bâtiment par la voie de prescription.
Life lesson:
A captain can never claim ownership of a ship by long possession alone — no matter how many years he sails it.
Notes:
Anti-prescription rule: captain barred from acquiring vessel ownership by prescription (adverse possession). Absolute prohibition. Protects absentee owners.
