This course builds upon the introduction to key property concepts provided in Foundations of Private Law in order to provide students with a broad knowledge of the key features of the system of heritable and movable property ownership in Scots law. In particular, it analyses the meaning of property, the main consequences of the distinction between heritable and movable property, the fundamental distinction between real and personal rights, the distinction between real right of ownership and the more factual condition of possession, the nature, content and limitations on ownership, the most important original and derivative modes of acquisition of ownership (including registration of heritable property), the basic characteristics of co-ownership and the law of the tenement, the law of servitudes, leases and securities, and the basic concepts of intellectual property law.
