County Courts
County Courts. The old County Court was a tribunal inident to the jurisdiction of a sheriff, but was not a Court of Record. Proceedings were removable into a superior court by recordari facias loquelam, or writ of false judgment. Outlawries ofabsconding offenders were here proclaimed.Far more important inferior tribunals have now been established throughout England. They were first established in 1846 by 9 & 10 Vict. c. 95, 'the Act for the more easy recovery of Small Debts and Demands in England,' repealed and re-enacted with fourteen amending Acts by the consolidating and amending (English) County Courts Act, 1888 (51 & 52 Vict. c. 43), an Act very materially but very shortly amended by the (English) County Courts Act, 1903 (3 Dew. 7, c. 42), which came into operation on the 1st January, 1905, and raised the common law jurisdiction from 50l. (to which amount it had been raised by an Act of 1850 from the original 20l. under the Act of 1846) to 100l. The number of jurors was also raise...
Bought and Sold Notes
Bought and Sold Notes. It is no longer the custom for brokers who have succeeded in making a contract to make any entry in their books save for their own private information, and it is now almost the universal practice to regard the bought and sold notes as the proper evidence of the contract. The broker sends to the seller a 'sold note' and to the buyer a 'bought note,' these being now the usual terms, though formerly their use was sometimes the converse. When each note discloses the name of both parties to the transaction, each is a complete memorandum of the bargain. When each note only discloses the name of one party, the two may be treated as one memorandum. The bought and sold notes are deemed to constitute a single document, and if they differ materially they are nullities unless one has been assented to by the parties as containing the terms of the contract.Every contract note for or relating to the sale or purchase of any stock or marketable security must be stamped when the v...

Constructive total loss
Constructive total loss, a term used in the law of marine insurance to denote a loss which entitles the assured to claim the whole amount of his insurance, on giving to the assurers notice of abandonment. Generally there is a constructive total loss when the subject-matter assured has not actually perished or lost its form or species, but has, by one of the perils insured against, been reduced to such a state or placed in such a position as to make its total destruction, though not inevitable, yet highly imminent, or its ultimate arrival under the terms of the policy, though not utterly hopeless, yet exceedingly doubtful. In such a case the assured, by giving notice within a reasonable time to the assurers of abandonment, i.e., the relinquishment of all his right to whatever may be saved, is entitled to recover against them as for a total loss.If notice is not given, the loss is treated as a partial loss unless the ship in fact has become a total loss or if there would be no possibilit...
