The doctrine of rights in rem and the development of the institution of rights in rem under the Eupean continental legal system

Abstract

In civil law, the doctrine of rights in rem has been always considered as a “reference framework” to make legal provisions which ensure comprehensive interests of different subjects established on a property. The paper analyses the doctrine of rights in rem and the benefits of developing the institution of rights in rem under the European continental legal system, to which Vietnam can refer in the course of amending the civil law to meet global integration criteria.
