Proper law
The principle of the conflict of laws according to which the law applicable to a given legal situation should be the law having the closest and most real connection to the case. The term "proper law of the contract" was first used by Westlake in A Treatise on Private International Law, with principal reference to its practice in England.
Properly applicable law
The law which has the closest and most real connection (or most significant relationship) with the contract or tort, based upon the connecting factors (contacts). The properly applicable law may be identified by the application to any conflict of laws problem of a consistent methodology (supra), such as that proposed in Tetley, Int'l C. of L., 1994 at pp. 35-43, 41-42.
Property
Property is commonly thought of as a thing which belongs to someone and over which a person has total control. But, legally, it is more properly defined as a collection of legal rights over a thing. These rights are usually total and fully enforceable by the state or the owner against others. It has been said that "property and law were born and die together. Before laws were made there was no property. Take away laws and property ceases." before laws were written and enforced, property had no relevance. Possession was all that mattered. There are many classifications of property, the most common being between real property or immoveable property (real estate such as land or buildings) and "chattel", or "moveable" (things which are not attached to the land such as a bicycle, a car or a hammer) and between public (property belonging to everybody or to the state) and private property.
