Record 2 2013-05-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
DEF

The rights or interests a person has in the thing he or she owns.

OBS

... In modern understanding, however, property has come to mean the thing itself to which certain ownership rights are attached. (Reilly, 1977, p. 338).

OBS

In its largest sense property signifies things and rights considered as having a money value, especially with reference to transfer or succession, and to their capacity of being injured. Property includes not only ownership, estates, and interests in corporeal things, but also rights such as trade marks, copyrights, patents, and rights "in personam" capable of transfer or transmission, such as debts. (Jowitt's, 2nd ed., 1977, p. 1447).

OBS

"Property" is a word of different meanings. It may mean a thing owned. ... It may mean ownership itself as when I speak of my "property" in my watch which may pass to the person to whom I sell the watch before I actually hand the watch over. ... Or it may even mean an interest in a thing less than ownership but nevertheless conferring certain rights, as when we speak of the "property" or "special property" of a bailee in the thing bailed. ... "Property" comprehends tangibles and intangibles, movables and immovables; it means a tangible thing (land or a chattel) itself, or rights in respect of that thing, or rights, such as a debt, in relation to which no tangible thing exists. (Crossley Vaines, 5th ed., 1973, p. 3).

Record 3 2013-04-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
OBS

Ownership, or the right of property is ... not a single indivisible concept but a collection or bundle of rights of legally protected interests. (Brown, 3rd ed., 1975, p. 6).

OBS

So long as we remember that the ownership of a material thing is nothing more than a figurative substitute for the ownership of a particular kind of right in respect of that thing, the usage is one of great convenience; but so soon as we attempt to treat it as anything more than a figure of speech, it becomes a fertile source of confusion of thought. (Salmond, "Jurisprudence", 8th ed., p. 279).

OBS

The doctrine of tenure ... means that "land cannot be the subject-matter of ownership, though the person in whom its seisin is vested is entitled to exercise proprietary rights in respect of it". But anyone can have full ownership of chattels and forms of purely personal property. (Crossley Vaines, 5th ed., 1973, p. 40).
