Separation and Abstraction in Property Transfers
A Comparative Study of English and Chinese Law
Series: - Chinese and Comparative Law Series, Volume: 11
Author:
This book argues that there are three dividing lines regarding modes and consequences of property transfers which should not be conflated by comparative lawyers, namely, intent alone versus intent plus, unitary approach versus separatist approach, and causality versus abstraction. Unlike Chinese law, English law takes a non-unified approach not only in the stage of transfer but also in the stage of restitution, where the consequence in relation to the property right transferred under a flawed underlying basis can be purely causal, purely abstract, and abstract in common law but causal in equity. Nevertheless, abstraction is normatively more justifiable than causality.
Zhicheng Wu, D.Phil. in Law (2018), University of Oxford, is Assistant Professor at School of Law, Renmin University of China. He has published journals articles in both English and Chinese on property, trusts, restitution, and corporate finance.
This book can be useful for institutes of comparative law, university libraries, scholars, practitioners, and post-graduate students interested in laws of property (both real and personal), trusts, and restitution.
