Conflict Of Property Laws
In the conflict of laws, property law follows the terminology of the civil law systems which divides property into two types:
- Immovables is the equivalent of "real property" in common law systems, i.e. it is land or any permanent feature or structure above or below the surface (e.g. mineral rights).
- All other property is considered movables, i.e. the equivalent of personal property or personalty in common law systems, and this property is either tangible or intangible, i.e. it is either physical property that can be touched like a computer, or it is an enforceable right like a patent, some other form of intellectual property or a chose in action.
