Ownership of a right is called :

  • A.Corporeal ownership
  • B.Incorporeal ownership
  • C.Beneficial ownership
  • D.Contingent ownership

Answer: B

Ownership of a right is incorporeal ownership.

Salmond distinguishes corporeal ownership, the ownership of a material thing such as land or a book, from incorporeal ownership, the ownership of a right, such as a patent, copyright, debt or easement. Strictly every ownership is of a right, but corporeal ownership is spoken of as ownership of the thing itself.

Beneficial ownership is the enjoyment of property held by a trustee, the trustee being the legal owner. Contingent ownership is ownership that will vest on an uncertain event. Both describe how ownership is held, not what is owned.
