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.

Building societies
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Act of 1836 (6 & 7 Wm. 4, c. 32), and certain sections of the old (English) Friendly Societies Acts of 1829 and 1835 (repealed for all other purposes) incorporated therewith.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...
Plant
Plant, has been defined as the tools, machinery, fixtures, buildings, grounds, etc. of a factory or business; the apparatus or equipment for a certain mechanical operation or process, Steel City Beverages Ltd. v. State of Bihar, (1996) 1 Pat LJR 868.Plant, has frequently been used in fiscal and other legislation. It is one of a fairly large category of words as to which no statutory definition is provided ('trade', office even 'income' are others), so that it is left to the court to interpret them. It naturally happens that as case follows case, and one extension leads to another, the meaning of the word gradually diverges from its natural or dictionary meaning. This is certainly true for plant, I.R.C. v. Scottish & Newcastle Breweries Ltd., (1982) 1 WLR 322: (1982) 2 All ER 230: 55 TC 252 (HL).Plant, in the relevant sense, although admitted not a term of art, and therefore part of the general English tongue, is not, in this sense, an ordinary word, but one of imprecise application, an...
