| This arrangement is distinguishable from the hypothec of Roman Law and of modern civil law, which is comparable to a mortgage. |
| The hypothec allows the Landlord to sell the movable goods of the tenant, which are on the leased premises. |
| If the goods are removed from the leased premises prior to the landlord's hypothec being perfected, the rights therein are lost to the landlord. |
| If one fails to abide by this rule on written information, no construction legal hypothec can be placed against the property. |
| Many forms of jus existed short of ownership, notably the hypothec, the civilian equivalent of the mortgage. |
| The judicial hypothec arises from any judgment given in civil proceedings by the Royal Court. |
