Abode
Abode, habitation or place of residence; stay or continuance. In law it is used in different senses, to denote the place of a man's residence, or business, temporary or permanent. For some purposes in law a man may be deemed to have an 'abode' where he has a place of business, even although he reside elsewhere, or where he has a temporary residence, although his permanent residence is elsewhere or even abroad. But 'abode' or residence is quite distinct from domicil, which means much more than even a place of permanent residence (see DOMICIL); whereas it would seem that 'abode' does not even necessarily imply that. 'Abode' seems larger and looser in its import than the word 'residence,' which in strictness means the place where a man lives, i.e., where he sleeps or is at home. 'A man's residence, where he lives with his family and sleeps at night, is always his place of abode in the full sense of that expression', R. v. Hammond, (1852) 17 QB 781, per Lord Campbell, C.J. Consult Stroud, ...

Borough English
Borough English, a custom abolished by Adminis-tration of Estates Act, 1925, s. 45. See (English) Law of Property Act, 1922, 12th Schedule; evidently of Saxon origin, and so named to distinguish it from the Norman customs. By this custom, which was met with in some burgage tenemental lands and elsewhere, if a person had several sons, and died intestate, the youngest son inherited all the realty, which belonged to his father, situated within such borough. It was based on the assumption that the youngest son, on account of his tender age, was not so capable as the rest of his brethren to keep himself. Among the pastoral tribes, the sons, as soon as they attained the proper age, migrated from the paternal habitation, with an allotment of cattle, to seek a residence elsewhere; the youngest son usually continued with his father, and thus became the heir to his house, 2 Bl. Com. 83.The custom obtained in the manor of Lambeth, Surrey, in the manors of Hackney, St. John of Jerusalem in Islingt...
Increase of Rent and Mortgage (Restrictions) Acts (English)
Increase of Rent and Mortgage (Restrictions) Acts (English). A series of statutes, each of a temporary character, curtailing the contractual rights, in respect of certain classes of property, of landlords and mortgagees. This legislation was rendered necessary, in the first instance, by the conditions caused by the outbreak of the Great War. The continuance of the protection to tenants and mortgagees of dwelling-houses afforded by the later Acts was made necessary by the housing shortage, caused principally by the economic effects of the war. The Courts (Emergency Powers) Act,1914 (4 & 5 Geo. 5, c. 78), was the first of such Acts: it restricted the right to levy distress or resume possession of property by landlords and of mortgagees to foreclose or realize their security. This Act was followed by a series of complicated statutes which imposed restrictions on increasing the rent and mortgage interest on properties falling within their scope. the obscure and ambiguous drafting of these ...
fair play and substantial justice
fair play and substantial justice : a requirement or standard of fairness which a court's assertion of personal jurisdiction over a nonresident defendant must meet in order to avoid a violation of the defendant's right to due process see also minimum contacts International Shoe Co. v. Washington in the Important Cases section NOTE: In International Shoe Co. v. Washington, the Supreme Court held that in order for a state court to exercise jurisdiction over a defendant whose residence is elsewhere, the court must establish that the defendant has such minimum contacts with the state that the exercise of jurisdiction over the defendant does not offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice. Among the factors used to make this determination are the difficulty for the defendant of appearing in the court, the state's interest in deciding the case, and the plaintiff's interest in the convenience of the court and the effectiveness of the relief to be obtained there. ...
