留置权的权利属性再探讨

On the Right Nature of Lien

留置权的物权属性较弱,其欠缺物权的追及力并且没有能足以产生公信力的公示方法;作为一项担保物权,其又不具备典型的不可分性和物上代位性;作为一项法定权利,其法定性是在物权法定原则基础上的进一步法定,但当事人的约定又可以排除留置权的适用。留置权具有留置和优先受偿的双重效力,不可等同于"留置的权利"。

Lien has a weak character of real right, because it lacks the effect of recovery and publication method that can achieve accountability. As one kind of real rights for security, Lien does not have the typical na- ture of inseparability and subrogation. As a legal right, Lien is lawfully on basis of the Numerus Clausus Princilple but parties' agreement can also rule out the application of Lien. It has double effect of retention and prior- ity of claim which is different from 'right of keeping'.
