Mark Robertson Dec 11, 2019:
Código Civil Brasileiro Livros I & II The initial, general, part of the Brazilian Civil Code is organised in three Books/Livros, which are entitled "Das Pessoas", "Dos Bens", and "Dos Fatos Jurídicos". Direito das Pessoas e Bens (Law of Persons and Property) is a standard unit in Brazilian law courses and covers Books I and II of the Brazilian Civil Code.

Law of Persons & Property

The title looks like literal and minddless Eurospeak, persons including both natural & legal and property including both realty (real estate) and personalty (personal property like chattels), but is used in English Common Law countries suc as the USA and Australia - see infra/ below.


Example sentence:

Oz: This is a compilation of the Public Order (Protection of Persons and Property) Act 1971 that shows the text of the law as amended and in force on 11 May 2018.

USA: In July 2017, the Court of Appeals in South Carolina affirmed a lower court’s decision rejecting a claim of immunity from prosecution pursuant to the Protection of Persons and Property Act.

Peer comment(s):

agree Mark Robertson : You answer is correct but your explanation is not. This is a standard unit in law courses and corresponds to Books I (Das pessoas) and II (Dos Bens) of the Brazilian Civil Code.

I would shy away from "Act" as this would not be used as a title of a subject but "Law" would work fine IMO
