description This chapter argues that equitable property rights are best seen as distinct in form from both legal property rights and personal rights. Peter Birks’ taxonomy can ultimately be seen as focused on identifying the events that give rise to particular types of right. The chapter explains that Birks’ scheme for private law fails to accord sufficient weight to the distinctiveness of equitable property rights, effectively overlooking the possibility of a third type of right: what might be called ‘persistent rights’. The chapter notes that one achievement of equity has been bypassing the crucial borderline between property rights and personal rights.
