Question text
Jaco is a famous inventor of new environmentally friendly trucks. He stands in his ultra-modern
workshop admiring the revolutionary new electrically powered truck that he designed for the
company, Big Trucks, who still owes him R5 000 000.
This sentence contains four legal objects, one from each of the four categories of Jaco’s
subjective rights.

1.
an immaterial property right.
2.
a real right.
3.
a personal right.
4.
a personality right.
Feedback
Your answer is correct.
3 is CORRECT. Personal rights are rights in terms of which some type of conduct, referred to as
performance, can be demanded from a person. Personal rights may come about through a
contract, delict or unjustified enrichment. Performance can entail giving something, doing
something or refraining from doing something. Jaco has a personal right to the R5 000 000 Big
Trucks still owes him for the invention they bought from him, probably in terms of a contract of
sale.
1 is INCORRECT. A real right is a right a legal subject has over property such as a book, a pencil
or a farm. Jaco has a real right on his workshop, if it is registered in his name.
2 is INCORRECT. Personality rights are rights relating to aspects of a person’s personality, for
example physical integrity or reputation. Jaco’s well-earned reputation as a famous inventor of
cars is the object of a personality right.
