Q & A

What is the concept of 'individualitas' in property law?

The concept of 'individualitas' refers to the principle that property is always a specific, identifiable object that can be individually determined based on its type and quantity. This means that each object of property has a clear and individual identity.

Can you explain the principle of 'totalitas' in property law?

The principle of 'totalitas' states that a property right encompasses the entire object as a whole. For example, if someone owns a house, they automatically own everything attached to it, like windows, doors, and keys, as part of the property.

What does the principle of 'non-separation' mean in property law?

The 'non-separation' principle means that the owner of a property right cannot transfer only a portion of their rights. For example, if someone owns a house, they cannot transfer only a part of the rights to someone else; the transfer must involve the entire property.

What is the significance of 'publisitas' in property rights?

The principle of 'publisitas' emphasizes that the ownership of immovable property (like land) must be publicly declared and registered in an official register. For movable property, public knowledge is established through physical possession, such as owning a new phone.

How does the 'specialitas' principle affect property ownership?

The 'specialitas' principle requires that ownership rights over immovable property be clearly defined with respect to the property’s boundaries, location, and size. This principle ensures that the ownership of land is unambiguous and legally recognized.

What is meant by 'rights following the object' in property law?

This principle, also known as 'zakelijk actief', means that the property rights follow the object regardless of who possesses it. In other words, the property rights are tied to the object, not to the person holding the property.

What does the 'compulsory law' principle (asas hukum memaksa) entail?

The 'compulsory law' principle dictates that property rights cannot be established in a way that contradicts the law. The system of property rights is closed, meaning it must adhere to what is explicitly stated in the legal framework, such as in the Civil Code.

How does the principle of 'attachment' (asesi) work in property law?

The 'attachment' principle states that if an object is physically or legally attached to another object, the owner of the primary object automatically becomes the owner of the attached item. For example, a house owner automatically owns the trees growing on the land.

How can a property right be transferred or terminated?

Property rights can be transferred or terminated through various means, including through inheritance, sale, or abandonment. Additionally, rights may expire due to time limits, such as through 'verjaring' (prescription) or the destruction of the object.

What is the role of 'privileged debt' in property law?

In property law, 'privileged debt' (hak istimewa) refers to certain types of debt that are prioritized over others, meaning the creditor has the right to be paid first in case of a default. This privilege is typically granted by law and applies to specific types of debts, such as those for taxes or wages.
