ABSTRACT
By ‘quasi-property’ I mean those forms of property which are accepted by English law as being
property but which do not in fact relate to any identifiable asset, for all that their legal treatment
still conforms to the tangible property theory outlined above. The purpose of considering quasi-
property as a distinct category in this fashion is to suggest that there are categories of property
outwith the ordinary categories of property, that there are conceptual and logical problems with
quasi-property which challenge the essential claim to logic of much property law, and that there are
forms of relationship outwith those ordinarily understood as being proprietary which warrant
inclusion in that category given the extensions proffered by quasi-property.
