Co-ownership and partnership, the main differ-ences between co-ownership and co-partnership is that co-ownership is not necessarily the result of agreement, whereas partnership is.

Free-board, or freebord
Free-board, or freebord. The precise nature of free-board is not very clear, but it may be described as denoting certain rights enjoyed by the owner of an ancient park over a strip of ground, varying in width indifferent cases, running along the outside of the boundary fence. The right seems to be ofthe nature of a negative easement, its essence apparently consisting in the right of the owner of the park to have the strip kept free, open and unbuilt upon. Cowel (Law Dict.) has the following: 'Free-board, Francbordus, in some places they claim as a Free-bord, more or less ground beyond or without the fence. In Mon. Angl. 2 par. Fol. 241, it is said to contain two foot and a half.' He then quotes the passage from Dugdale, but inaccurately, the correct reading being as follows: Et totum boscum quod vocatur Brendewode, cum frankbordo duorum pedum et dimidium, per circuitum illius bosci, etc.; see Dugd. Mon., Edn. Caley Ellis & Bandinel, vol. vi. P. 375. Du Cange simply says, 'Francbordus A...
Good cause, sufficient case Difference
Good cause, sufficient case Difference, The differ-ence between the words 'good cause' for non-appearance in O. IX, R. 7 and 'sufficient cause' for the same purpose in O. IX, R. 13 as pointing to different criteria of 'goodness' or 'sufficiently' for succeeding in the two proceedings; and as there-fore furnishing a ground for the inapplicability of the rule of res judicata. As this ground was not seriously mentioned before us, we need not examine it in any detail but we might observe that we do not see any material difference between the facts to be established for satisfying the two tests of 'good cause' and 'sufficient cause'. We are unable to conceive of a 'good cause' which is not 'sufficient' as affording an explanation for non-appearance, nor conversely of a 'sufficient cause' which is not a good one and we would add that either of these is not different 'good and sufficient cause' which is used in this context in other statutes. If, on the other hand, there is any difference bet...
