Further advance, or charge
Further advance, or charge, a second or subsequent loan of money to a mortgagor by a mortgagee, either upon the same security as the original loan was advanced upon, or an additional security, Equity considers the arrears of interest on a mortgagee security converted into principal, by agreement between the parties, as a further advance.Although the tacking of a third or subsequent mortgage has been abolished by the Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 94, that s. has expressly preserved the right to tack a further advance by a prior mortgage so that the advance may rank in priority to subsequent mortgages, even if the further advance was made with notice of a subsequent mortgage or charge in cases where the mortgage imposes an obligation to make further advances. Where the mortgage is to secure a current account or any other further advances, notice of an intervening charge will postpone the further advance to that charge but (by way of exception) in this case notice will not be imputed to t...

Maritime lien
Maritime lien, is well defined to mean a claim or privilege upon a thing to be carried into effect by legal process, that process to be a proceeding in rem ...... This claim or privilege travels with the thing into whosoever possession it may come. It is inchoate from the moment the claim or privilege attaches, and when carried into effect by legal process by a proceeding in rem, relates back to the period when it first attached, Bold Buccbugh, The (1852) 7 Moo PCC 267: (1843-60) All ER Rep 125.A maritime lien is a claim which attaches to the res i.e., the ship, freight, or cargo. It may arise ex delicto, e.g., compensation for damage by collision, or ex contractu, for services rendered to the res; but it is strictly confined to services such as salvage, supply of necessaries to the ship, and seamen's wages, and the courts show no tendency to extend the privilege (see The Ripon City, 1897, P. 226). Thus for ordinary work done upon a ship, such as repairs, there will be no maritime lien...

Falsely charges
Falsely charges, The expression 'falsely charges' in this section, cannot mean giving false evidence as a prosecution witness against an accused person during the course of a criminal trail. 'To falsely charge' must refer to the criminal or initial accusation putting or seeking to put in motion the machinery of criminal investigation and not when seeking to prove the false charge by making deposition in support of the charge framed in that trial. The words 'falsely charges' have to be read along with the expression 'institution of criminal proceeding'. Both these expressions, being susceptible of analogous meaning should be understood to have been used in their content sense. They get as it were their colour and content from each other. They seems to have been used in a technical sense as commonly understood in our criminal law. The false charge must, therefore be made initially to a person in authority or to someone who is in a position to get offender punished by appropriate proceedi...
Person in-charge
Person in-charge, a person 'in-charge' must mean that the person should be in over-all control of the day to day business of the company or firm.

Terminal charges
Terminal charges of a railway company, those made at either terminus, in addition to the charges for carriage, as for warehousing, loading, unloading, cartage to or from station, etc. The special Act of each company, in prescribing a maximum rate, usually excepts from such rate 'a reasonable sum,' for, e.g., 'loading, covering, and unloading of goods at any terminal station of such goods, and for delivery and collection and any other services incidental to the duty or business of a carrier, where such services are or any of them is performed by the company'; and the Railway and Canal Traffic Commission has jurisdiction to determine what is a reasonable sum in case of dispute. See Hodges on Railways.The (English) Railway and Canal Traffic Act, 1888, which by s. 24 directs railway companies to pre-pare revised classifications of traffic and schedules of maximum rates, and to state therein the nature and amount of all 'terminal charges,' by s. 55 defines the term 'terminal charges' as inc...
Criminal Charge
Criminal Charge, that in determining whether proceedings for condemnation constituted a 'criminal charge' for the purpose of Article 6 of the convention the court had to consider, Regina (Mudie) v. Dover Magistrates' Ct (CA), (2003) 2 WLR 1344.The court concludes as did the chamber that the nature of the charges together with the nature and severity of the penalties, were such that the charges against the applicants constituted criminal charges with in the meaning of Article 6 of the Convention which article applied to their adjudication hear-ings, R.
