(A) may be the owner of a thing as against all the world except B, while with regard to B he may have no rights of ownership at all, being bound, by virtue of a personal relation between them, to allow B to have the use and profits of the property, or even to deal with the property as B may direct. As the rules of the common law only recognise A's rights to the property and ignore those of B, A is called the legal owner, while B is called the equitable owner, because his rights are only recognised by virtue of the doctrines of equity.  1, fiche 1, Anglais, - legal%20owner
