Learning unit contents

The class begins with an introduction whose purpose is to set the matter of property and real rights within the Belgian legal system. Then, from the basic distinction of things and rights into chattels and real estates and from the fundamental notions of possession and detention, the mechanism of acquisitive prescriptionis explained, along with other ¿original ways of acquiring property¿. Afterwards, we address the subjects of property (especially the matters of accession, demarcation and close), of co-ownership and, above all, of joint ownership. Finally, an analysis will be made of the important real right of easement, easement created by man as well as the most frequent statutory easements.
