1. Hypothec

   Hypothec is a mortgage in Roman and Scots law, in other words, a legal right over a debtor's property that however remains in the debtor's possession. It is a species of encumbrance giving a creditor a non-possessory security interest in a debtor’s real property jus in re aliena and a preferential right to have claims paid out of that property as last recourse when the debtor is in default. It is ultimately an advanced form of pledge for real property, at least insofar as it was conceived of by Roman law from which it originates. However, a pledge gives possession on delivery whereas a hypothec gives neither possession nor ownership. It is very similar to a common law non-possessory remortgage. A specific thing may be given absolutely to a creditor on the understanding that it is to be given back when the creditor's debt is paid; or the property in the thing may be assigned to the creditor while the debtor is allowed to remain in possession, the creditor as owner being able to take possession if his debt is not discharged. In the hypothec, the property does not pass to the creditor, nor does he get possession, but he acquires a preferential right to have his debt paid out of the hypothecated property; that is, he can sell it and pay himself out of the proceeds, or in default of a purchaser he can become the owner himself. The name and the principle have passed into Scotland's civil law system, which distinguishes between conventional hypothecs, as bottomry and respondentia, and tacit hypothecs established by law. Of the latter the most important is the landlord's hypothec for rent, which extends over the produce of the land and the cattle and sheep fed on it, and over stock and horses used in husbandry.
