Art. 1164. The Creditor Has A Right To The Fruits of The Thing From The Time The Obligation To
The creditor has a right to the fruits of the thing from the time the obligation to
deliver it arises. However, he shall acquire no real right over it until the same has been
delivered to him.
Comment:
Personal right (jus in personam or jus ad rem) is power demandable by one person
of another to give, to do, or not to do.
Real right (jus in re) is a power over a specific thing like the right of ownership or
possession and is binding on the whole world.
(b) Constructive Delivery that were the physical transfer is implied. This may be
done by:
(1) Traditio simbolica (symbolical tradition) as when the keys of the bodega are
given
(2) Traditio longa manu (delivery by mere consent or the pointing out of the
object) (etymologically, the extending of the hand Example: pointing out
the car, which is the object of the sale.
(4) Tradition constitutum possessorium the opposite of brevi manu; thus, the
delivery whereby a possessor of a thing as an owner, retains possession no
longer as an owner, but in some other capacity (like a house owner, who sells
a house, but remains in possession as tenant of the same house).
(5) Tradition by the execution of legal forms and solemnities (like the execution
of a public instrument selling land).
