CONT

[...] au Moyen-Âge la common law faisait une distinction très nette entre les actions réelles [...] et les actions personnelles [...] Les premières étaient le moyen à employer, en cas de dépossession, pour forcer la restitution de la chose elle-même; les secondes permettaient d'obtenir une compensation monétaire [...] On en est donc venu à appeler biens réels ceux qui pouvaient être récupérés en nature au moyen d'une action réelle, et biens personnels, tous les autres qui n'ouvraient droit qu'à une action personnelle.

DEF

All objects and rights which are capable of ownership except freehold estates in land and incorporeal hereditaments issuing thereout, or exercisable within the same. (Ballentine, p. 942)

OBS

The terms "personal property," "personalty" and "personal estate" are quasi-synonyms. Although the terms "personal property" (or "personalty") and "personal estate" refer to the same concept, they serve for distinct technical classifications. "Personal property" and "personalty," as opposed to "real property" and "realty," refer to all forms of property other than freehold estates and interests in land and its appurtenances, for which no action layed to compel restitution from a wrongful taker, but only a personal action for damages. As to the term "estate," it denotes all property that a person owns, divided into "real estate" and "personal estate," which originally included goods and chattels of a personal kind.
