After a study of various classifications or things and rights, especially the one into chattels and real property, the notions of possession and detention will be addressed. Indeed, possession constitutes the basis of several ¿original ways¿ of acquiring property that must be studied, in particular acquisitive prescriptionand the mechanism of article 2279 of the civil Code.
Land registration stemming from the statute of 1851 will then retain our attention, before we address the vast topic of property (its characteristics, the problems of proof and the rei vindicatio) and mainly immovable property (in particular the matters of accession, demarcation and close). Next, co-ownership and joint-ownership will be examined, as well as the theories of abuse of right and neighborhood troubles.
Finally , we study the main real rights : usufruct (as well as the real rights of ¿use¿ and ¿inhabit¿) and easements, essentially easements created by man.
Public Law Aspects
Legislative acts allowing interference with property rights for many a general interest were announced by the Code civil itself (art. 544, 552) but are now numerous and sophisticated. Protection of the res communes, partly scheduled by the same Code (art. 714), allows major interference with several rights and freedoms, not only with property rights. Town and country planning, housing, energy supply, sustainable development, conservation of a sound environment (soils, waste, water, hazardous plants, nature, ¿) are organised by legislative acts adopted at every normative level (International, EU, national, regional level). Those acts are numerous and changing. Mandatory steps for individuals as interdictions, authorisations, positive obligations to facere, are common place but other means are also used as voluntary or incentive action.
