		The court held that privity of possession (as distinguished from privity of estate) allowed owners to tack on their predecessor's period of ownership under the theory of adverse possession.

		In that case tacking is permitted even though only privity of possession, as contrasted with privity of estate, exists.

	Privity and Assignment of Legal Malpractice Claims
		Courts have justified their assault on privity as a means to provide remedies to the victims of legal malpractice, force attorneys to bear the costs of their actions, and deter malpractice in the future.

	No. 1-03-0112, Mekertichian. v. Mercedes-Benz U.S.A., L.L.C.
		Therefore, because Illinois requires contractual privity as a prerequisite for breach of implied warranty claims under its internal law, there must also be vertical privity in breach of implied warranty claims brought pursuant to Magnuson-Moss in Illinois.
		Although this vertical privity requirement has been challenged on a number of occasions, our supreme court has consistently declined to abolish the doctrine in cases where purely economic damages are sought.
		Under the foregoing cases, the federal courts have taken the position that Magnuson-Moss has not by itself relaxed the privity requirement, but that the determination as to whether privity is required must be based entirely on the application of state law.

	First Monday: Formalizing and Securing Relationships on Public Networks
		Thus privity is the protection of the contents and activitities of a relationship - or, specifically, the terms, performance, and adjudication of a contract - from third parties.
