Civil Transactions Law (6): Types of Rights

A financial right may be either personal or real. A real right is considered principal if it exists independently and is not derived from another right, such as the right of ownership, the right of usufruct, the right of use, the right of habitation, the right of endowment (waqf), and any other rights so designated by statutory provisions. Alternatively, a real right is considered accessory if it does not exist independently and is based on another right, such as the right of mortgage, the right of lien (privilege), and any other rights recognized as such under statutory law.
