Nature of the usufruct

Usufruct is a traditional real right that allows a person to use another's property and to take its fruits or benefits. This publication offers a deep insight into its nature in the context of modern doctrine, legal theory, and practice, making it a valuable guide for academics, practising lawyers, judges, and legislators. The author analyses the interpretative nuances of this institution and places them in the broader framework of comparative law, from which he draws inspiration for his arguments. The result is a publication that enriches the professional debate by analysing aspects of usufruct hitherto neglected in Czech and Austrian legal literature.
