Civil Law
Civil Law, that rule of action which every particular nation, commonwealth, or city has established peculiarly for itself, more properly distinguished by the name of municipal law.The term 'civil law' is now chiefly applied to that which the Romans complied from the laws of nature and nations.The 'Roman Law'and the 'Civil Law' are convertible phrases, meaning the same system of jurisprudence; it is now frequently denominated 'the Roman Civil Law.'The collections of Roman Civil Law, before its reformation in the sixth century of the Christian era by the eastern Emperor Justinian, were the following:--(1) Leges Regi'. These laws were for the most part promulgated by Romulus, Numa Pompilius and Servius Tullius. To Romulus are ascribed the formation of a constitutional government, and the imposition of a fine, instead of death, for crimes; Numa Pompilius composed the laws relating to religion and divine worship, and abated the rigour of subsisting laws; and Servius Tullius, the sixth king,...

From, 'To'
From, 'To', when a period is delimited by statute or rule, which has both a beginning and an end and the word 'from' is used indicating the beginning, the opening days is to be excluded and if the last day is to be excluded the word 'to' is to be used. In order to exclude the first day of the period, the crucial thing to be noted is whether the period of limitation is delimited by a series of days or by any fixed period. This is intended to obviate the difficulties or inconvenience they may be caused to some parties. For instance, if a policy of insurance has to be good for one day from the 1st January, it might be valid only for a few hours after its execution and the party or the beneficiary in the insurance policy would not get reasonable time to lay claim, unless the 1st January is excluded from the period of computation, Tarun Prasad Chatterjee v. Dinanath Sharma, (2000) 8 SCC 649: AIR 2001 SC 36 (39). [General Clauses Act, 1897, s. 9]...

Lease
Lease [either from locatio, Lat., the letting of property, or laisser, Fr., to let, or leapum, or leasum, Sax., to enter lawfully], sometimes also called demise (demissio), is a grant of property for life, or years, or from year to year or at will, by one who has greater interest in the property. The person granting is called the lessor, who is possessed of the reversion (as to a reversion being essential to a lease, see 1 Platt on Lease, pp. 9 et seq.); he to whom the property is granted, the lessee. The consideration is usually the payment of a rent or other annual recompense. The ancient operative words were 'demise, lease, and to farm let,' or 'demise and lease.'The (English) Law of Property Act,1925, makes a distinction between leases for years which become legal estates if they consist of terms of years absolute and leases for life which have been converted into merely equitable interests if created under a settlement, but by s. 149 of the Act leases for life at a rent or in cons...
