Fixtures
Fixtures. Things of an accessory character which are not something which is part of the original struc-ture, Boswell v. Crucible Steel Co., (1925) 1 KB 119, annexed to houses or lands, which become, immediately on annexation, part of the realty itself, i.e., governed by the same law which applies to the land, in conformity with the maxim quicquid plantatur solo, solo cedit. The application of this legal principle, however, is not uniform, as may be thus shown:(1) Between landlord and tenant. If the chattels be not let into the soil, they are not fixtures at all, and may be removed at will, like any other species of personal property. When the chattel is connected with the free-hold, by being let into the earth, or by being cemented or otherwise united to some erection attached to the ground, the question arises-when may the tenant remove such fixtures?The general rule as to annexations made by a tenant during the continuance of his term is the following-Whenever he has affixed anything...
National insurance
National insurance. The (English) National Insur-ance Act, 1911 (1 & 2 Geo. 5, c. 55), introduced by Mr. Lloyd George, established a wide system of compulsory state insurance covering both ill-health and unemployment, which is based upon premiums contributed in part by the employer, in part by the employee, and in part by the State. The Act consisted of three parts, the first dealing with National Health Insurance, the second with Unemployment Insurance, and the third contained miscellaneous provisions. This Act remained the basis of National Health Insurance, although the subject of very extensive amendment, until the National Health Insurance Act, 1924, consolidated the law. The law has been consolidated again by the (English) National Health Insurance Act, 1936 (26 Geo. 5, and 1 Edw. 8, c. 32), amends and repeals the whole of the Acts passed in 1920, 1922, 1924 and 1928. The arrangement is as follows:-Part I. Insured Persons and Contributions.Part II. Benefits.Part III. Approved Soc...
Premises
Premises (pr'missa), in logic, propositions antecedently supposed or proved. In a deed the 'premises' are all the parts preceding the habendum. The word properly applies to what has been previously described or mentioned, and is used only in that sense in well-drawn instruments (Dav. Prec. in Conveyancing, vol. i.). It is, however, often used as meaning land or houses.For the statutory meaning, see particular statutes, e.g., (English) Public Health Act, 1875, s. 4, where 'premises' includes messuages, buildings, lands, easements, tenements and hereditaments of any tenure.Include any shop, stall, or place where any article of good is sold or manufactured or stored for sale. [Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954 (37 of 1954), s. 2 (xi)]Means any land or any building or part of a building and includes-The garden, grounds and outhouses, if any, appertaining to such building or part of a building, andAny fittings affixed to such building or part of a building for the more beneficial en...
Quic quid plantatur (or fixature) solo, solo cedit
Quic quid plantatur (or fixature) solo, solo cedit, the maxim, which is found in English law, viz., 'quicquid plantatur solo, solo, cedit', has at the most only a limited application in India. There is nothing in the laws or customs of this country and traces of the existence of an absolute Rule of Law that whatever is affixed or built on the soil becomes a part of it, and is subjected to the same rights of property as the soil itself, Narayan Das Khettry v. Jatindra Nath Roy Chowdhry, AIR 1927 PC 135.There is no custom of Hindu law by which the maxim quicquid plantatur (or aedificatur) solo, solo cedit, has no application at all in India. The English law would apply unless it is clear that by local customary or other law applicable in this country, it does not the Courts of India have excluded the application of the maxim altogether, though they have help and the legislature has said in effect that there are substantial exceptions to the application of the maxim, N.P.A. Chettiar Firm ...
Stamp duties
Stamp duties, a branch of the revenue. They are a tax imposed on all parchment and paper whereon certain legal proceedings and certain private ins-truments re written; and on licences for various purposes.The consolidating Stamp Act, 1870, superseded the very numerous older enactments [in great part repealed by the (English) Inland Revenue Repeal Act, 1870 (33 & 34 Vict. c. 90)] in regard to the duty on the various classes of instruments, but by s. 17 of the Stamp Act, 1870 (re-enacted by s. 14 of the Stamp Act, 1891), reversing the former law, see Buckworth v. Simpson, (1835) 1 CM&R 384, the stamp to be affixed to an unstamped document to render it admissible in evidence was not the stamp in accordance with the law at the time of affixing it, but the stamp in accordance with the law in force at the time when the document was first executed.Very important alterations in the law of stamps were effected by the Customs and Inland Revenue Act, 1888. Prior to that Act it was no offence not ...
