Description
The term 'property' has been used in a variety of senses. In its wider sense, property includes all the legal rights of a person of whatever description. The property of a man is all that is his in law, exclusion of others is the life essence of property. In this regard, Blackstone noted that property means, "the inferior hath no kind of property in the company, care or assistance of the superior, as the superior is held to have in those of the inferior". According to Hobbes, "of things man have are his own life and limbs, and in the next degree, in most men, those that concern conjugal affection and after them riches and means of living". John Locke holds that, "every man has a property in his own person" and a man has a right to preserve property that is his life, liberty and estate". Jeremy Bentham argues that, "property and law are born and must die together. Before the laws, there was no property: take away the law, all property ceases".
In a narrower sense, property includes the proprietary rights that constitute an individual's estate or property; and the personal rights that constitute his status or personal condition. In this sense, the land, chattels, shares and debts due to a person are his property; but not his life or liberty or reputation.
In the narrowest use of the term, property includes nothing more than corporeal property or the right of ownership in material things. Consequently, patent, copy rights which are incorporeal, are excluded. According to Austin, the term property is sometimes used to denote the greatest right of enjoyment known to the law excluding servitudes.
