Fines in copyholds
Fines in copyholds. A fine which is preserved by 12 Car. 2, c. 24, s. 6, is a sum of money payable by custom to the lord. There are three classes of fines:- (1) those due on the change of the lord; (2) those on the change of the tenant; and (3) those for a licence to the tenant to do certain acts.When the fine is due on the change of the lord, such change must be by the act of God, and not in consequence of any act of the party. It can therefore be only claimed on the death of the lord.When it is due on the change of the tenant, it matters not whether that change is effected by the act of God, or by the tenant's own act. Whenever the tenancy is changed, a fine is payable.Those fines which are due to licenses by the lord, to empower the tenant to do certain acts, as to demise, etc., are rare. There must be a special custom to support such fine, for, by general custom, fines are due only on admissions.The admission fine is prima facie uncertain and arbitrary, or rather arbitrable, unless...
