Contract
Contract, an agreement between competent parties, to do or to abstain from doing some act. For numerous other definitions, see Chalmers's Sale of Goods Act, App. II., where it is said that the 'disposition of the best modern writers appears to be to define ' contract ' as an agreement enforce-able at law,' but contended that this definition seems rather too narrow.Every contract is founded upon the mutual agree-ment of the parties; the other essentials are legality, capacity (depending on age, mental ability, sex and status) a mutual identity of consent (consensus ad idem), and form. When an agreement is stated either verbally or in writing it is usually called an express contract; when the agreement is matter of inference and deduction, it is called n implied contract.

Quod semel placuit in electionibus amplius displicere non potest. Co. Litt. 146, 146 a.--(Elections once made and plea witnessed suffers not a recall. What has once pleased a man in elections cannot displease him on further consideration.) See also Re Simms, Ex p. Trustee, 1934 Ch...
Joint-tenancy
Joint-tenancy. This tenancy is created where the same interest in real or personal property is, by the act of the party, passed by the same matter of conveyance or claim in solido, and not as merchan-dise, or for purposes of speculation, to two or more persons in the same right, either simply, or by construction or operation of law jointly, with a jus accrescendi, that is, a gradual concentration of property from more to fewer, by the accession of the part of him or them that die to the survivors or survivor, till it passes to a single hand, and the joint-tenancy ceases.Anciently, joint-tenancy was favoured because it did not induce fractions of estates, and returning to early principles the (English) Land Legislation of 1925 has employed the tenure generally as the machinery by which legal estate may in such cases always be in some person, called the estate owner, who is competent to give a title to the whole estate without the concurrence of other parties. that legal estate has been ...
