Article 719 explained in plain English
This Article deals with accessory real rights. It does not set detailed rules for these rights, but provides that the legal provisions specific to them apply to them.
In practical terms, this means:
- The Civil Transactions Law does not itself regulate the details of these rights.
- Anyone who wants to know their rules consults the legal provisions specific to each of them.
- The Article does not name these provisions or state their content.
This Article follows Article 718, under which use of the easement right by one co-owner in undivided shares interrupts the running of time for the benefit of the other co-owners. It is followed by Article 720, which sets out universal rules that apply to the extent they do not conflict with the legal provisions.
Because the rules on these rights are found in special provisions outside this Law, anyone with a matter relating to them would do well to consult a lawyer specializing in real estate or in banking and finance, depending on the nature of the matter.
