Double Possibility

Legal definition for Indian law research

Definition

Double possibility. Before 1926 it was supposed [see Whitby v. Mitchell, (1890) 44 Ch D 85] that a limitation in remainder after a life interest to an unborn person of an interest in land to the unborn child or other issue of an unborn person was void for remoteness. This rule has been abolished by the Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 161, without prejudice to any other rule against perpetuities
