Abandoned Places Around The World

Common law abandonment is "the voluntary relinquishment of a thing by its owner with the intention of terminating his ownership, and without the intention of vesting ownership in any other person; the giving up of a thing absolutely, without reference to any particular person or purpose...." An example of statutory abandonment in a common law jurisdiction is abandonment by a bankruptcy trustee under 11 U.S.C. § 554. In Scots law, failure to assert a legal right in a way that implies abandonment of it is called taciturnity.
