Right to immediate possession refers to the right to possess a chattel immediately. It arises at the end of a bailment for a specific term or where there is an ‘at will’ bailment. When the court awards immediate possession, it means that the landlord can immediately file a Writ of Possession, which the sheriff will serve upon you. Immediate possession is also called direct possession and refers to the possessor himself possessing the property or thing. ^{ox.ac.uk 1 2 3 4}
