A quick definition of mobilia sequuntur personam:

Term: Mobilia sequuntur personam

Definition: Mobilia sequuntur personam is a Latin phrase that means "movables follow the person." This principle is used in international law to determine the rights of ownership and transfer of movable property based on the law of the owner's domicile. In simpler terms, it means that the law of the country where a person lives determines who owns and can transfer their movable property, like furniture or cars. However, this principle is not always used and is limited to certain special cases like marriage settlements and devolutions on death and bankruptcy.

A more thorough explanation:

Mobilia sequuntur personam is a Latin phrase that means "movables follow the person." This means that the law of the owner's domicile determines the rights of ownership and transfer of movable property.

  • If someone owns a car in the United States but moves to Canada, the law of Canada will determine their rights to the car.
  • If someone owns a painting in France but moves to Japan, the law of Japan will determine their rights to the painting.

These examples illustrate how the principle of mobilia sequuntur personam works. The law of the owner's domicile (the place where they live) determines their rights to movable property, even if the property is located in a different country.
