Abstract
The article discusses the concept of private property and the characteristics applied to assess whether rights and interests amount to private property, including the requirement of excludability. Considers the traditional categories of private property, the dynamic nature of property, the role of trusts of choses in action, emerging forms of property and the notion of quasi-property rights. The overall conclusion is that English law needs a clear and robust framework from which it can recognise private property in both its traditional and emerging forms. The writers seek to provide that framework arguing that certain key elements are crucial to the notion of private property. In the absence of these elements, however, the right or interest may still be characterised as a form of quasi-property assuming the element of exclusivity is present.
