Right, title and interest is habitual legal triplicate to capture an enforceable claim with respect to something, however it may manifest itself. Of the three “title” — formal legal ownership of something capable of being owned — is the narrowest and, we think, “interest” is the widest — encompassing equitable and legal claims, expectations and aspirations that might through the machinery of some judicial process benefit the claimant — and any prose stylist would therefore declaim “right” (one person’s enforceable claim against another person or thing, whether amounting to a title or not) and “title” for “interest”.
