Law/Patents - Real Estate
Swedish term or phrase: civilrättslig
Context: The Seller is "civilrättslig och lagfaren ägare av fastigheten..."

I would say "legally competent" for civilrättslig; i.e. able to transfer title. However perhaps that is reading too much into the term?

Explanation:
Civilrättslig is one of those terms that you find both in Norwegian and Swedish. It is a quick way of saying according to civil law. I am not aware of another, briefer, or more elegant way of putting this in English.
You will find it with all sorts legal areas in front of it, e.g. folkerettslig (international law), strafferettslig (criminal law), etc.

Example sentence(s):
  • The seller is the proper owner of the property according to title and civil law

private vs. sui juris


Explanation:
civilrättslig och lagfaren ägare > in private law = in personam and registered proprietor = in rem.

Quoting the same ref. as Sven P., I've included an example sentence which suggests giving more thought to the subject.

If the seller hasn't been registered yet, then s/he is a proprietor with a personal or private contractual interest only: a common occurrence in Spain.

Also the concept of 'sui juris' legal competence which the asker has raised would apply only to private individuals and not to corporations or 'statutory undertakers' like Vattenfall in the second example sentence.







Example sentence(s):
  • Har man köpt en fastighet men *ännu inte sökt lagfart på den så är man civilrättslig ägare* till fastigheten.
  • Det är också ostridigt att Vattenfall inte kan anses som *civilrättslig* ägare till de maskiner och inventarier som majoritetsinnehavaren förvärvat med bidrag www.notisum.se/rnp/domar/rr/RR011086.htm
