Abstract

Numerus clausus refers to the principle that both the form and the substance of a property right shall be prescribed by the law, which essentially restricts the freedom to “customize” the legally enforceable property interests.2 It has long been regarded as a basic principle in Civil Law countries, while the recent studies of U.S. scholars suggest that its essence exists in the Anglo-American law as well.
