ABSTRACT
Property law is concerned with the recognition of entitlements in relation to land, chattels and
intangible property. Such entitlements may reflect possession, the right to take a benefit, the right
to prohibit use by others and so forth. It is of course the business of property lawyers to inquire
into the different incidents and extents of those various rights. What is suggested here is that the
law of property ought also to recognise that different aspects of property have different weight.
