Abstract
Rights play an important role in private law. The owner of a car who has been damaged unlawfully by someone else has a right against the tortfeasor to be compensated (see chap. 6 on tort law). The seller of a car has the right against the buyer of the car to be paid the price for which the car was sold (see chap. 4 on the law of contracts). And, finally, the owner of a car has a right to the car itself. This last right differs from the former two. It is not a right against a particular person such as the tortfeasor or the contract partner; it is a right on a tangible object, namely the car.keywordscivil codemovable objectgolden ringfeudal systemgerman civil codethese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
