Latin term
uti domino
Latin to English
Law/Patents
Real Estate
Context (for those who read Italian, but I'm hoping this is a standard Latin legal phrase that many translators of legal texts in any language will know):
"...i quali tutti concordemente confermavano le circostanze dedotte dai convenuti circa il possesso ininterrotto, pacifico ed uti domino dei beni per cui è giudizio per oltre un ventennio retrodatando dalla data di notifica dell'atto introduttivo della lite."
"...i quali tutti concordemente confermavano le circostanze dedotte dai convenuti circa il possesso ininterrotto, pacifico ed uti domino dei beni per cui è giudizio per oltre un ventennio retrodatando dalla data di notifica dell'atto introduttivo della lite."

The formula "uti domino" refers to someone acting and using any goods as if he/she were the legitimate and rightful proprietor.
"Uti" is the intensive form of "ut" meaning here "as, like, as if".
"Domino" the dative case of "dominus" meaning "master, lord, owner".

You find it along "uti dominus", with the same meaning, although with a different case (nominative = subject).
