The General Rule.- In 1900 a standard encyclopedia said: "By the weight of authority an abstracter is liable only to the person ordering and paying for the abstract; and where this view obtains, the fact that an abstracter has knowledge that his abstract is to be used in a sale or loan to advise a purchaser or person about to lend money does not affect the rule as to his liability. In some jurisdictions, however, the abstracter's liability has been extended to protect those who, relying on the correctness of the abstract, are injured."

In order the better to secure to the owner and occupier of land its proper use and enjoyment the common law has recognized certain rights in addition to the mere right of possession which is redressed by the action of trespass.

Articles

W. 467, decided by the Supreme Court of Iowa November 23, 1918, is an interesting instance of an all too common lack of appreciation and understanding of the very fundamentals of property law.
