Adverse or adverse interest, in law, is anything that functions contrary to a party's interest. This word should not be confused with averse.
In property law, adverse possession refers to an interest in real property which is contrary to the in-fact owner of the property. For example, an easement may permit some amount of access to property which might otherwise constitute a trespass.
