Spanish term

universalidad jurídica

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general)
Would appreciate your help with this term:

Definition of "universalidad jurídica" from a legal dictionary:
En Derecho, el conjunto de bienes y deudas que constituyen un todo indivisible, como ocurre con el patrimonio y más aún en caso hereditario en que los sucesores a título universal no pueden aceptar el activo hereditario (derechos) sin las anexas obligaciones (Cabanellas de Torres).

Context in my translation:
El concepto de establecimiento comercial implica la existencia de una universalidad jurídica que puede ser objeto de propiedad, y tiene medida de valor; constituyendo por lo tanto un bien (formado por un conjunto de bienes materiales e inmateriales destinados al desarrollo de una activad comercial o industrial organizada para la producción o comercialización de bienes o prestación de servicios).

Thanks for your input!

universitas juris

Universitas juris is a Latin term which means ‘a quantity of things of all sorts.’ It includes both corporeal and incorporeal things that are taken together as a whole. In civil law universitas juris is a collection of rights and duties united by the single circumstance of their having belonged at one time to one person. The tie that connects a number of rights of property, rights of way, rights to legacies, duties of specific performance, debts, obligations, to compensate wrongs which so connects all these legal privileges and duties together as to constitute them a universitas juris is the fact of their having attached to some individual capable of exercising them. A universitas juris is always governed by the lex loci domicilii.
