Spanish term or phrase: derecho real
English translation: rights in rem
right in rem = a right in rem is one which imposes an obligation on persons generally, i.e, either on all the world or on all the world except certain determinate persons.
As used in the Spanish Civil Code the expression "derechos reales" includes a series of rights in either real or personal property. Although university professors of Civil Law may group them differently, traditional classifications of "derechos reales" include 1) provisional rights in property ("derecho real provisional"), i.e., "posesión" (“possession”); 2) full rights in property ("derecho real pleno"), i.e., "dominio" (or) "propiedad" (“ownership”); and 3) limited rights in property ("derechos reales limitados"), which are subdivided into three large categories: 3.1) rights in the enjoyment of property ("derechos reales de goce") including "usufructo", "uso", "habitación", "servidumbres", "enfiteúsis", "censos" and "superficie"); 3.2) "security rights in property" ("derechos reales de garantía") including "prenda", "hipoteca", "anticresis", "prenda sin desplazamiento de posesión" and "hipoteca mobiliaria"; and 3.3) preferential rights in the acquisition of property "derechos de adquisición preferente" (basically, "tanteo" and "retracto").

Spanish term or phrase: derecho real de prenda
English translation: pledge (or) security interest (in the shares)
