Goods
Goods, Computer programs are the product of an intellectual process, but once implanted in a medium they are widely distributed to computer owners. An analogy can be drawn to a compact-disc recording of an orchestral rendition. The music is produced by the artistry of musicians and in itself is not a 'good', but when transferred to a laser-readable disc it becomes a readily merchant-able commodity. Similarly, when a professor deliv-ers a lecture, it is not a good, but, when transcribed as a book, it becomes a good. That a computer program may be copyrightable as intellectual property does not alter the fact that once in the form of a floppy disc or other medium, the program is tangible, moveable and available in the marketplace. The fact that some programs may be tailored for specific purposes need not alter their status as 'goods' because the Code definition includes 'specially manufactured goods', Advent Systems Ltd. v. Unisys Corpn., 925 F. 2d 670 3dCir 1991. Associated Cement Compa...

Emblements
Emblements [fr. emblavance de bled, O. Fr. corn sprung or put above ground], the growing crops of those vegetable productions of the soil which are annually produced by the labour of the cultivator. They are deemed personal property, and pass as such to the executor or administrator of the occu-pier, whether he were the owner in fee, or for life, or for years, if he die before he has actually cut, reaped, or gathered the same; and this, although being affixed to the soil, they might for some purposes be considered, whilst growing, as part of the realty.The growing crop annually produced by labour, as opposed to a crop naturally, Black Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 540.If a tenant for life or pur autre vie die, his executor or administrator is entitled to emblements', for the estate was determined by the act of God; and it is a maxim in the law that actus Dei nemini facit injuriam. The advantages of emblements are extended to parochial clergy by 28 Hen. 8, c. 11, but a person who resigns...
Custom of the country
Custom of the country, in agriculture, that usage governing the relations of agricultural landlords and tenants which is considered to be incorporated in every farming lease or agreement unless it ibe expressly excluded therefrom. The most important kinds of custom are those by which the tenant on quitting his holding has a right to be compensated for his expenditue on those acts of husbandry of which he cannot obtain thebenefit during the tenancy itself, as where the tenant goes out of Lady-Day, and si either paid in money for the seed and labour which he has expended upon the crop to be reaped in the autumn, or has a right to re-enter to till and gather his 'away-going crop.' See AWAY-GOING CROP.In many parts of England, the custom of the country entitles the tenant to be paid for artificial manures, and in some few, pre-eminently in Lincolnshire, for drainage and buildings; but customs are most variable and difficult to ascertain, and from a comparison of returns procured in 1848 by...

Trade allowance
Trade allowance, the question whether a particular payment is a trade allowance or not, depends upon the facts of each case. Firstly, it must be a deduction in any transaction in respect of commercial crops. If it is a deduction out of the price or commodity agreed to be paid or transferred, it would be a trade allowance. On the other hand, if the payment is 'de hors' the terms of the transaction but made towards consideration for the use of the premises or services rendered, it would not be a deduction from the price or in any transaction, M.C.V. S. Arunachala Nadar v. State of Madras, AIR 1959 SC 300 (308). (Madras Commercial Crops Markets Act, 1933, s. 14)...
Allotments
Allotments. Many (English) Acts (see chit. Stat., tit. 'Allotments') have been passed authorizing parish officers to let out to poor persons small quantities of parish land or land originally allotted under inclosure Acts for the benefit of the poor. The Small Holdings and Allotments Act, 1908 (Part II.), empowers parish, urban, borough or county councils to provide plots of land for persons belonging to the labouring population of the locality to cultivate as farms or gardens. Land for allotments may be acquired compulsorily by the above bodies (ss. 12 and 27, Land Settlement (Facilities) Act, 1919) (as amended by the 1925 Act, s. 1). This Act as amended by the Allotments Act, 1922, necessitates a six months' or longer notice to quit (but see s. 30(2) of the Act, 1908, and s. 1 of the Act of 1922), and provides, notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary, for compensation to an outgoing tenant by the landlord for growing crops, manure, improvement, etc. (s. 47 of the Act of 1908, a...

A insect indigenous to Colorado, one of the United States of America, so destructive to vegetables that the (English) Destructive Insects Act, 1877 (40 & 41 Vict. c. 68), was passed to prevent its introduction into Great Britain by means of orders (see Chitty's Statutes, tit. 'Agriculture') prohibiting or regulating the landing of potatoes, etc., likely to introduce it, and giving powers to destroy crops on which it may be found, and compensation to persons whose crops may be destroyed accordingly....
