Alien enemy
Alien enemy, a subject of a nation which is at war with this country. A contract with him is void, Brandon v. Nesbitt, (1794) 6 TR 23, unless he have a safe conduct or be living in this country by licence of the Crown; and so is a contract with his wife, De Wahl v. Braune, (1856) 25 LJ Ex 343. Further, not only commercial intercourse but all intercourse with an alien enemy is prohibited by the common law; see The Hoop, (1799) 1 C Rob 196, where Sir William Scott described an alien enemy as 'totally ex lege'; The Cosmopolite, (1801) 4 C Rob 8; The Panariellos, (1915) 138 LT Journ 484. Nor can an alien enemy exercise a right of voting in respect of shares in an English company, Robson v. Premier Oil Co., 1915 (2) Ch 124, nor (unless within the realm by the King's licence) can he sue here during the war, though he remains liable to be sued, Porter v. Freudenbery, 1915 (1) KB 857. As to the Crown's right at common law to forfeit the private property of subjects of an enemy state, see In re...
Equitable estates and interests
Equitable estates and interests, Rights relating to property of which the legal ownership is vested in another person, or in the equitable owner himself in another capacity. The rights arise whenever a person obtains a title to have the property or an estate or interest in it vested in himself, e.g., by contract or by any conveyance or assignment which does not by law transfer or vest the legal estate or ownership in the transferee, by mortgage or charge, and whenever a trust arises, either express, constructive, implied or by operation of law. In theory the legal owner alone was entitled, both in law and equity, to the property, and he alone was responsible for the obligations and incidents attaching to the property, the beneficial owner merely having a personal right inequity to force the legal owner to carry out his obligation or trust, but the rights and obligations of beneficial ownership became recognized and affected by statute. The Statute of Uses turned the beneficial right or...
Water and watercourse
Water and watercourse. In the language of the law the term 'land' includes water, 2 Bl. Com. 18. An action cannot be brought to recover possession of a pool or other piece of water by the name of water only, but it must be brought for the land that lies at the bottom, e.g. 'twenty acres of land covered with water.'-Brownl. 142. See POOL. By granting a certain water, though the right of fishing passes, yet the soil does not. Water being a movable, wandering thing, there can be only a temporary, transient, usufructuary property therein. Consult Coulson and Forbes on the Law of Waters, Gale on Easements, and Angell on Watercourse. 'Water' does not include the land on which it stands, unless perhaps in the case of salt pits or springs, where the interest of each owner is measured by builleries, ballaries or buckets of brine, Burt. Comp. pl. (550), and see Co. Litt. 4 b.The (English) Waterworks Clauses Act, 1847, and the Waterworks Clauses Act, 1863 (see Chitty's Statutes, tit. 'Water,' and...

Interest
Interest, an interest for the purposes of the regula-tion was not limited to a direct financial interest and included membership of a panel such as the panel of which the claimant's solicitors were members that, therefore, the Claimant's Solicitors had had an interest in recommending the insurance which they recommend to her; that, in the circumstances, there had not been sufficient disclosure of that interest; and that, accordingly, there had been a material breach of regulation 4(2)(e)(ii) and the conditional fee agreement was unenforceable [See (English) Conditional Fee Agreements Regulation, 2000 (SI 2000/692), reg. 4(2)(c)(e)(ii)], Garrett v. Halton BC, (2007) 1 WLR 554 CA Cir.Interest, inter alia as the compensation fixed by agreement or allowed by law for the use or detention of money, or for the loss of money by one who is entitled to its use; especially, the amount owed to a lender in return for the use of the borrowed money [Black's Law Dictionary (7th Edn.) pp. 393-94 para 3...
