KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Jus Tertii
Jus tertii is a legal defence raised by a defendant in a property dispute, claiming that a third party has a stronger right to the property than the claimant.
This defence is particularly relevant in cases involving wrongful interference with goods, such as conversion. Under the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977, this defence may succeed, but special procedures are required to involve the third party in the legal proceedings. The concept ensures that property disputes are resolved by recognizing the rights of all relevant parties.
