Property law

The right to property is the area of ​​the law applicable to the various forms of ownership and possession of real property (land, unlike personal or movable possessions) and personal property, within the common law legal system. In the civil law system, there is a division between movable and immovable property. Movable property roughly corresponds to personal property while the property corresponds to real estate or real property, and the rights and obligations associated with it.
The concept, idea or philosophy of property underlies all property law. In some jurisdictions, historically all property was owned by the monarch and was delegated by the feudal land tenure or other feudal systems of loyalty and fidelity.
Although the Code Napoleon was one of the first acts of government in modern times to introduce the notion of absolute ownership in the statute, the protection of personal property rights was present in medieval Islamic law and jurisprudence, and more feudal forms in ordinary courts of medieval and modern England.
