DROIT-DROIT

droit-droit (drwah-drwah), n.[Law French “double right”] Hist. The unification of the right of

possession with the right of property. — Also termed jus duplicatum; dreit dreit.

“A complete title  to lands, tenements, and  hereditaments. For it is an ancient maxim  of the

law,  that  no  title  is  completely  good,  unless  the  right  of  possession  be  joined  with  the  right  of

property; which right is then denominated a double right, jus duplicatum, or droit droit. And when

to  this  double  right  the  actual  possession  is  also  united  …  then,  and  then  only,  is  the  title

completely legal.” 2 William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England 199 (1766). [Blacks Law 8th]
