Approved schools
Approved schools. These schools are schools intended for the education and training of persons to be sent there in pursuance of the Children and Young Persons Act, 1933 (see s. 79(1) and approved by the Secretary of State. They are regulated by ss. 79-83 of that Act. Local authorities may under certain circumstances undertake the purchase, establishment, building, alteration, enlargement, rebuilding or management of an approved school (s. 80). The Secretary of State may classify approved schools as he thinks best calculated to secure that a person sent to an approved school is sent to the school appropriate to his case. With certain exceptions the managers of an approved school are bound to accept any person sent there in pursuance of the Act (s. 81). The expression 'approved school' was first used in the Children and Young Persons Act, 1932, which was declared to apply in relation to a school which at the commencement of this Act is a certified reformatory school or a certified indust...
Notice
Notice, the making something known to a person of which he was or might be ignorant. Notice is either (1) statutory; (2) actual, which brings the knowledge of a fact directly home to the party; or (3) constructive or implied, which is no more than evidence of facts which raise such a strong presumption of notice that equity will not allow the presumption to be rebutted. [S. 154, I.P.C. and Art. 61(2)(a) const. 56 Indian Evidence Act]Constructive notice may be subdivided into: (a) where the facts of which actual evidence is supplied give rise to a further enquiry which a man exercising ordinary caution would make equity has added constructive notice of the facts, which that inquiry would have elicited; and (b) where there has been a designed abstinence from inquiry for the very purpose of avoiding notice. See CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE.A purchaser with notice may protect himself by purchasing the title of another bona fide purchaser for a valuable consideration without notice; for, otherwise, ...
Notice to quit
Notice to quit. Where there is a tenancy from year to year subsisting, it can only be put an end to by notice to quit, which may be given by either party, and must be given one half-year previously to the expiration of the current year of tenancy, so as to expire at the same period of the year in which the tenant entered upon the premises. This rule is to be invariably followed in all cases, except where there is some special agreement between the parties to a different effect, or where a particular local custom intervenes, or where the (English) Agricultural Holdings Act, 1923, applies, in which case, by s. 25 of that Act, a notice must be given to terminate the tenancy twelve months from the end of the then current year of the tenancy.Where the term of a lease is to end on a precise day, there is no occasion for a notice to quit previously to bringing an action of ejectment because both parties are equally apprised of the termination of the term. If a tenant continue in possession by...

Constructive notice
Constructive notice. The knowledge which is imputed to a party: (a) if he omits to make the usual and proper inquiry into the title of property which he has purchased; (b) if he omits to investigate some fact which has been brought to his notice suggesting the existence of such title or claim; (c) if he deliberately refrains from inquiry in order to avoid notice. See Halsbury, L.E., vol. 13, and the person affected with constructive notice takes, if at all, subject to the title or claim, whether he knew of it or not; for instance, a purchaser of land who is satisfied to take a shorter title than he could call for by statute is affected by notice of all trusts and equities of which he would have had notice if he had seen the full title. See Cox and Neve's Contract, (1891) 2 Ch 109; Patman v. Harland, (1881) 17 CD 353 illustrates the doctrine. It was there held that: (a) notice of a material document is notice of its contents, and (b) although the (English) Vendor and Purchaser Act, 1874...
Approval
Approval, in the context of an administrative act, the word 'approval' does not mean anything more than either confirming, ratifying, assenting, sanctioning or consenting, Vijayadevi Narulkishore Bhastia v.

Service of notice/notice
Service of notice/notice, according to Art. 158 of the First Schedule to the Indian Limitation Act, the period of limitation for an application to set aside an award under the Arbitration Act, 1940, begins to run from 'the date of service of the notice of the filing of the award. Notice does not necessarily mean 'communication in writing. 'Notice' accord-ing to the Oxford Concise Dictionary, means 'intimation, intelligence, warning' and has this meaning in expressions like 'give notice, have notice' and it also means 'formal intimation of something, or instructions to do something' and has such a meaning in expressions like 'notice to quit, till further notice'. Further, 'service', according to Webster's New International Diction-ary, II Edition, Unabridged, means 'act of bringing to notice, either actually or constructively, in such manner as is prescribed by law'. Oral communica-tion will therefore amount to service too, when no particular mode of service is prescribed. When the Legi...
