  • Property Law (common law)
DEF

[The] land, buildings, and anything attached to the land.

CONT

In early law, property was deemed "real" if the courts would restore to a dispossessed owner the thing itself[,] and not merely give compensation for the loss ... Consequently, a distinction was made between real property (or "realty"), which could be specifically recovered, and personal property (or "personalty"), which was not thus recoverable. In general, all interests in land are real property, with the exception of leaseholds[,] which are classified as personalty.

CONT

Real estate is a technical term and is generally to be construed in its technical sense. It comprises all freehold (and formerly copyhold) lands, tenements and hereditaments, but not leasehold interests.... "Real estate" includes, also, any rights in land, such as a rentcharge, which admit of being limited in the same manner as freehold estates or interests. (39 Hals., 4th, p. 214)

CONT

As the common law developed, real property came to mean that form of property which could be specifically recovered by a real action if possession were lost. Only freeholdings of land were thus recoverable in the realty. (Crossley Vaines, 5th, p. 6)

OBS

The terms "real property," "realty" and "real estate" are quasi-synonyms. "Real property" and "real estate" serve for distinct technical classifications. Originally, the use of the term "property" itself was confined to cases where the right included possession. The term "real property," as opposed to "personal property," was used to denote land and things attached to land so as to become part of it, as well as rights in the land which endure for a life. The term "real estate," as opposed to "personal estate," comprised all freehold (and formerly copyhold) lands, tenements and hereditaments (except leasehold interests) that a person owned, and also included any rights in land which could be limited in the same manner as freehold estates or interests. In modern usage, all three terms refer to the same object, comprising corporeal and incorporeal hereditaments.

The negative covenants are effectively attached to or annexed to the real property and when the assignee acquires the real property, the real property that is acquired is subject to those negative covenants.

  • Droit des biens et de la propriété (common law)
OBS

Pour déterminer aujourd'hui si un bien est réel, il faut donc voir s'il s'agit d'un bien qui, à l'époque médiévale, aurait été susceptible ou non de récupération par voie d'action réelle.

OBS

bien réel : Ne pas confondre «bien réel» et «bien immeuble». Le terme «bien immeuble» relève de la classification des biens en droit civil. En common law, «bien immeuble» est un terme de droit international privé employé en matière de conflits de lois.
