Abstract
Any discussion relating to buildings or land must concern itself with the legal status of different types of property. In most legal systems a distinction is made between land/buildings and other types of property. In Civil law systems, this distinction is between Immoveable property (land and buildings upon it) and Moveable property (everything else). This indicates the permanent nature of land and its unique status in contrast to other forms of property.
