Ownership and Other Property Rights in France

Abstract

In this scientific study, the civil law of France has been investigated according to the current French civil code. The article analyzes material rights, in particular, property rights and methods of their protection, as well as the influence of Roman law, revolutionary legislation, and norms regulating canon law, for the formation of a new bourgeois law free from feudal prohibitions and restrictions. Also, the peculiarities of French civil law, including the institutional nature of private law and dualism in law, have been analyzed. Although the legal system of the Republic of Uzbekistan is similar to the legal system of the French Republic from the point of view of the same legal family, some differences related to material law have also been analyzed, taking into account the adaptation of the law to the social life and national values ​​of each country. In particular, the concept of the right of ownership existing in the civil legislation of our country is different in the Republic of France, and there is also a theory that such a right does not exist because even intangible things are recognized as property. In addition, it has been studied that in the Republic of France, the acquisition of property rights using the period of ownership is 30 years in relation to immovable property, with greater protection of the owner’s interests, if the factual owner is honest (good faith) and it is a factor that shortens the period.
