Property Rule

Property Rule is a legal and economic principle within property theory that establishes the conditions under which an entitlement can only be transferred through voluntary exchange with the owner’s consent, thereby distinguishing it from liability rules by protecting property rights through the requirement of consent rather than compensation alone.
