Building societies, associations of persons subscribing to a common fund which is employed in making advances to such members (called 'advanced members') as desire to obtain them on the security of real or leasehold property, while those members who do not desire an advance (called 'investing members' ) simply pay their contributions to the society and receive interest thereon. Building societies are either (a) Unincor-porated, or (b) Incorporated. Unincorporated societies (now few in number) are governed by the (English) Building Societies Act of 1836 (6 & 7 Wm. 4, c. 32), and certain sections of the old (English) Friendly Societies Acts of 1829 and 1835 (repealed for all other purposes) incorporated therewith.

A cross division of these societies is into (1) Terminating, and (2) Permanent. A Terminating Society is one whic...
Destruction of buildings
Destruction of buildings, The consequence of 'des-truction of buildings' has been discussed by R. E. Megarry and H. W. R. Wade in The Law of Real Property as under:Destruction of buildings.--If there is a lease of land and buildings, the destruction of the buildings does not affect the continuance of the lease, so that the lessee remains entitled to possession of the land and any buildings that may subsequently be erected on it. But the complete destruction of the whole of the dismissed premises, as where an upper-floor flat is destroyed by fire, produces problems that yet have to be solved. One view is that the tenancy would come to an end, and with its liability on the covenants, for there would no longer be any physical entity which the tenant could hold of his landlord for any term, and there can hardly be tenure without a tenement. Another view is that the tenancy (and with its liability on the covenants) would endure in the air space formerly occupied by the flat, and would thus ...
