Law Reports

Law Reports. Reports of judgments of courts on points of law, published for the purpose of being used as precedents (see (REPORTS). Prior to 1865, these reports were all executed and published as mere private speculations, one reporter or pair of reporters being usually, though not always, accredited by the chief judge of each Court. For an account of these reporters and their works, see Handbook of English Law Reports, by Master Fox. In 1865 'The Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for England and Wales' began to publish monthly the reports called The Law Reports. These, though perhaps the best known, have no monopoly-for contemporaneous monthly reports are published under the name of The Law Journal, and contemporaneous weekly reports under the names of The Law Times Reports, The Solicitors' Journal and Weekly Reporter and All England Reports, and The Times Law Reports. All reports made by members of the Bar and published on their responsibility may be cited in argument. For abbrev...

egularly kept books of account

egularly kept books of account, to ascertain whether a book of account has been regularly kept the nature of occupation is an eminent factor for weighment. The test of regularity of keeping accounts by a shopkeeper who has daily transactions cannot be the same as that of a broker in real estates. Not only their systems of maintaining books of account will differ but also the yardstick of contemporaneity in making entries therein. It is not possible to accept the view that an entry must necessarily be made in the book of account at or about the time the related transaction takes place so as to enable the book to pass the test of 'regularly kept'. The rule fixes no precise time and each case must depend upon its own circumstances, CBI v. V.C. Shukla, AIR 1998 SC 1406: (1998) 3 SCC 410....
