Question

Which of the following is not a characteristic of legal right?

• A. Subject matters of right
• B. Person of inheritance
• C. Person of incidence
• D. Novation of right

Hint:

Legal rights involve a relationship between right-holders and duty-bearers, with novation being irrelevant to their structure.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

A legal right, per Salmond, includes characteristics like the subject (right-holder), object (thing claimed), content (subject matter), and person of incidence (duty-bearer). Novation, the replacement of an obligation, is not a characteristic but a contractual concept. Thus, the correct answer is: \[ {\text{Novation of right}} \]
