negative amortization
negative amortization amortization means that monthly payments are large enough to pay the interest and reduce the principal on your mortgage. Negative amortization occurs when the monthly payments do not cover all of the interest cost. The interest cost that isn't covered is added to the unpaid principal balance. This means that even after making many payments, you could owe more than you did at the beginning of the loan. Negative amortization can occur when an ARM has a payment cap that results in monthly payments not high enough to cover the interest due. Source: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ...

A mensa et thoro
A mensa et thoro. (From table and bed.) A term used to describe a partial divorce, in cases in which the marriage was just and lawful, but for some supervenient cause, such as the commission of adultery or cruelty by the husband or wife, it became improper or impossible for them to live together. This divorce was effected by sentence of the Ecclesiastical Court. It caused the separation of the husband and wife, but did not dissolve the marriage, so that neither of them could marry during the life of the other.A decree of judicial separation has been substituted for this kind of divorce by the Matrimonial Causes Act, 1857 (20 & 21 Vict., c. 85), s. 7, now repealed and replaced by the Judicature Act, 1925, s. 85. See MATRIMONIAL CAUSES; DIVORCE...
Fees taken in Court
Fees taken in Court, the phrase 'fees taken in court' cannot mean that it described fees which were actually being taken before the Constitution came into force. If this was the meaning, no fees could be levied in the Supreme Court because the Supreme Court did not exist before the Constitution came into force and not fees were being taken therein. This would render part of the Entry of List I nugatory. 'Fees taken in court' are not taxes, for if it were so, the word 'taxes' would have been used or some other indication given, Secretary, Government of Madras, Home Department v.

Lease
Lease [either from locatio, Lat., the letting of property, or laisser, Fr., to let, or leapum, or leasum, Sax., to enter lawfully], sometimes also called demise (demissio), is a grant of property for life, or years, or from year to year or at will, by one who has greater interest in the property. The person granting is called the lessor, who is possessed of the reversion (as to a reversion being essential to a lease, see 1 Platt on Lease, pp. 9 et seq.); he to whom the property is granted, the lessee. The consideration is usually the payment of a rent or other annual recompense. The ancient operative words were 'demise, lease, and to farm let,' or 'demise and lease.'The (English) Law of Property Act,1925, makes a distinction between leases for years which become legal estates if they consist of terms of years absolute and leases for life which have been converted into merely equitable interests if created under a settlement, but by s. 149 of the Act leases for life at a rent or in cons...
Res Mancipi

The Res Mancipi of old Roman law were, land-in historical times, land on Italian soil-slaves, and beasts of burden, such as horses and oxen; and the mode of conveyance by which they were transferred was called a Mancipium or Mancipation. Distinguished from them was another class called Res nec Mancipi, 'things which did not require a Mancipation,' i.e., could be transferred by a simpler mode of assurance, and were held to pass by mere delivery: see Maine's Ancient Law, Ch. VIII....
