Bare trustee

Bare trustee, A person holding property in trust for another without any beneficial interest in or duty in regard to it except to transfer it to the person entitled. Under the (English) Law of Property Act, 1925, 1st Sched., Part II., para 3, the legal estate, if any, in a bare trustee (not being a trustee for sale) automatically vested in the person who could call for a conveyance of it. Although this simplified conveyancing where the legal estate in the trustee was only remote, it was found that great inconvenience would be caused in cases where the legal estate in the trustee related to the entirety of the property in question according to its nature, and the Law of Property Amendment Act, 1926, provided that a purchaser for money or money's worth without notice of the trust upon production of the title deeds may accept the conveyance from the trustee or persons deriving title under him.

Entertainment expenditure

Entertainment expenditure, the expression 'enter-tainment expenditure' is of wide import. However, in the context of disallowance of 'entertainment expenditure' as a business expenditure by virtue of sub-s. (2A) of s. 37, the word 'entertainment' must be construed strictly and not expansively. Ordinarily, 'entertainment' connotes something which may be beneficial for the mental or physical well being but is not essential or indispensable for human existence. A bare necessity, like ordinary meal, is essential or indispensable and, therefore, is not 'entertainment' the expenditure incurred in extending customary hospitality by offering ordinary meals as a bare necessity, is not 'entertainment expenditure', C.I.T. v.

Intention and knowledge

Intention and knowledge, 'intention' is different from 'motive' or 'ignorance' or 'negligence'. It is the 'knowledge' or 'intention' with which the act is done that makes difference. The knowledge of the consequences which may result in doing an act is not the same thing as the intention that such con-sequences should ensue. Firstly, when an act is done by a person, it is presumed that he must have been aware that certain specified harmful con-sequences would or could follow. But that know-ledge is bare awareness and not the same thing as intention that such consequences should ensue. As compared to 'knowledge', 'intention' requires something more than the mere foresight of the con-sequences, namely the purposeful doing of a thing to achieve a particular end. The 'knowledge' as contrasted with 'intention' signify a state of mental realisation with the bare state of conscious awareness of certain facts in which human mind remains supine or inactive. On the other hand, 'intention' is a c...
