Cestui que trust
Cestui que trust, the person (now frequently termed 'beneficiary,' as in s. 62 of the Trustee Act, 1925, who possesses the equitable right to property and receives the rents, issues, and profits thereof, the legal estate being vested in the trustee. The remedy of the cestui que trust, if the trustee fails in his duty, is by an action in the Chancery Division (in the majority of cases instituted by way of an Originating Summons). The phrase cestui que trust is Norman-French. In Roman Law obligations analogous to trusts could only be crated by testament; the trustee was (Heres) 'fiduciarius'; the beneficiary, 'fideicommissarius.' Sandars, Inst. Lib. 2 tit. XXIII....

Divisions of the High Court
Divisions of the High Court (see new Judicature Act, 1925, ss. 1-5). The High Court of Justice, crated by the Judicature Act, 1873 (36 & 37 Vict. c. 66). was by s. 31 of that Act, for the more convenient despatch of business, divided into five Divisions, which were called the Chancery, the Queen's Bench, the Common Pleas, the Exchequer, and the Probate, Divorce and Admiralty Divisions, the judges of these Divisions being for the most part those who sat in the courts whose jurisdiction is transferred to the High Court (ss. 5, 16); but s. 32 of the same Act gave the Sovereign in Council power to reduce or increase the number of Divisions or the number of judges attached to each Division; and an Order in Council under this section which came into force on the 26th February, 1881, united in one 'Queen's Bench Division' (since the accession of King Edward the Seventh styled the' King's bench Division') the judges attached to the Common Pleas and Exchequer Divisions; so that (see Judicature ...
Priority
Priority, an antiquity of tenure in comparison with another less ancient; also that which is before another in order of time.As to priority among creditors, see (English) Admin-istration of Estates Act, 1869, reproduced by ss. 32 to 34, (English) Administration of Estates Act, 1925, and the First Sch., which provides that in the administration of the estate of any person who shall die on or after 1st January, 1870, no debt or liability of such person shall be entitled to any priority or preference by reason merely that the same is secured by or arises under a bond, deed, or other instrument under seal, or is otherwise made or constituted a specialty debt.The priority in legal and equitable assignments of equitable choses in action are determined accord-ing to the date of receipt of notice by the persons who are for the time being owners of the legal interest in the property assigned. Before 1926 the notice might be verbal; after 1926 it must, for the purposes of establishing priority a...
Remainder
Remainder [fr. remanentia, Lat.], that expectant portion, remnant, or residue of interest which, on the creation of a particular estate, is at the same time limited over to another, who is to enjoy it after the determination of such particular estate.After 1925 remainders can operate only as equitable interests, and in that manner they can be created in respect of personality as well as realty. The follow-ing explanation of legal remainders has been retained as relating to titles to land existing before 1926, and see (English) Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 4, as to the construction of equitable interests.A remainder may be limited in all freehold estates, but not strictly and technically in chattels real and personal, although these may be limited over after a previous limitation or a partial interest in them. It may be limited by way of use (which is, in practice, the usual method), as well as by a conveyance deriving its effect from the Common Law.In the same land there may at the sa...
Sanad, deed and other instrument
Sanad, deed and other instrument, the words 'deed' and 'other instrument' must be read 'ejusdem generis' with 'sanad' and so must be confined to a document of title like a sanad in which one party crates or confers a zamindari estate on another. The words must be read disjunctively and be interpreted according to their ordinary meaning. For example, a document by an intermediary acknowledging the overlordship of another would, fall within the definition, Bishambhar Singh v. State of Orissa, AIR 1954 SC 139 (145). [Orissa Estates Abolition Act (10 of 1952), s. 2(h)]...
Sessions of the peace
Sessions of the peace, sittings of justices of the peace for the execution of those powers which are confided to them by their commission, or by charter, and by numerous statutes. They are of three descriptions:-I. Petty Sessions.--Metropolitan Police magistrates can act alone (see that title), with that exception, every meeting of two or more justices in the same place, for the execution of some power vested in them by law, whether had on their own mere motion, or on the requisition of any party entitled to require their attendance in discharge of some duty, is a petty or petit session. The occasions for holding petty sessions are very numerous, amongst the most important of which is the bailing persons accused of felony, which may be done after a full hearing of evidence on both sides, where the presumption of guilt shall either be weak in itself, or weakened by the proofs adduced on behalf of the prisoner. See PETTY SESSIONS.As to right of the public to attend petty sessions, see OP...
