第一 前言

可能有些人对于“动产买卖先取特权”这个名词已很熟悉,但出乎意料的是只有少数人真正运用 过动产买卖先取特权。近日笔者便负责了一起运用动产买卖先取特权实现债权回收的案件(以下简 称“本案”),以下将对本案进行介绍。

另外,本文着重以通俗易懂的方式对动产买卖先取特权进行解说,并不涉及详细内容。因此在讨 论具体案情时,请您咨询律师。

第二 动产买卖先取特权为何 

动产买卖先取特权是指有关买卖货款及其利息,就作为买卖标的物的动产,卖方债权优先于其他 债权人受偿的权利(《日本民法》第303条、第311条第5款、第321条)。

动产买卖先取特权并不需要在合同上明确规定卖方享有该权利。如果您是动产的卖方,基于民法 您便享有先取特权。
