1 A deed of transfer authenticated by a Spanish notary.

2 eg what happens if the vendor named in the deed does not possess or own the land in question or, if the sale is of future property, where the buyer is purchasing a building off plan or under construction.

3 Cartwright in Ch 6 comments that, in practice, the English system under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 operates in a similar way to French law. This is in contrast to its position in relation to land transfers which is closer to the German system. See also Ch 5.

4 The transfer may, however, be deferred by the will of the parties, by the nature of the things in question or by the effect of legislation: art 1196 Code civil.

5 Interestingly, Austria (having an earlier code) utilises a different system to Germany which Häcker characterises as ‘separation without abstraction’.
