Home Dictionary Name: 2009 5 scc6416Dearle v. Hall
Dearle v. Hall. The rule which takes its name from this case, reported 1823, 3 Russ. 1, originated with the bankruptcy rule conferring the priority of assignments of choses in action according to the date of notice to the debtor by the assignment, Ryall v. Rowles, 1 Ves Sess 348. Before 1926 the rule was that the priority of equitable assignments of debts and other choses in action was determined by priority in date of notice to the trustees or other owners of the legal interest in the property assigned, see Ward v. Duncombe, 1893 AC 369. The rule did not extend to equitable interests in land except to proceeds of land held on trust for sale, see Lloyd's Bank v. Pearson, (1901) 1 Ch 685, and QUI PRIOR EST TEMPORE POTIOR EST JURE. S. 137 of the Law of Property Act, 1925, has extended the rule to dealings with equitable interests in land, capital money (see s. 205(1)(xxvi.) of the Act), and securities representing capital money effected after 1925. To effect priority among competing assi...

Federalism
Federalism, Federalism is a concept which unites separate States into a Union without sacrificing their own fundamental political integrity. Separate States, therefore, desire to unite so that all the member-States may share in formulation of the basic policies applicable to all and participate in the execution of decisions made in pursuance of such basic policies. Thus the essence of a federation is the existence of the Union and the States and the distribution of powers between them. Federalism, therefore, essentially implies demarcation of powers in a federal compact, S.R. Bommai v. Union of India, AIR 1994 SC 1918 (1945): (1994) 3 SCC 1.Federalism implies mutuality and common purpose for the aforesaid process of change with continuity between the Centre and the States which are the structural units operating on balancing wheel of concurrence and promises to resolve problems and promote social, economic and cultural advancement of its people and to create fraternity among the people...
