Question 1:
What is the difference between a personal right and a real right?
Answer:
A real right can be defined as a lawful real relationship between a legal subject and a thing which
confers direct control over the thing on the legal subject, as well as the relationship between the
legal subject and all other legal subjects who must respect this relationship.
A personal right originates from an obligation, which in turn arises from a contract, a delict or
various other causes, such as unjust enrichment or unauthorised management of another’s affairs
(negotiorum gestio). An obligation is an abstract legal tie between two specific legal subjects in
terms of which the one party, the creditor, has a right to a particular performance against the other,
the debtor, and the latter a corresponding duty to render such performance. Personal right stem
from an obligation, whereas a real right is focused on a thing. Ownership is the most comprehensive
real right that a person can have.
