Building
Building, defined by Lord Esher in Moir v. Williams, (1892) 1 QB 270, as an inclosure of brick or stone covered by a roof, and said by Park, J., in R. v. Gregory, (1833) 5 B. & Ad. At p. 561, not to include a wall; but the definition depends on circumstances, and may include a reservoir, Moran v. Marsland, (1909) 1 KB 744. The London Building Act, 1930 (20 & 21 Geo. 5, c. clviii.), has no definition. The term 'new building' was defined in s. 23 of the (English) Public Health Acts Amendment Act,1907 (c. 53) (now repealed); and see also Southend-on-Sea Corporation v. Archer, (1901) 70 LJ KB 328; South Shields Corporation v. Wilson, (1901) 84 LT 267. An old railway carriage will be a 'new building' if the interior arrangements are altered, Hanrahan v.

Complete destruction
Complete destruction, in Article 592 of American Jurisprudence, the statement of law on the consequences of complete destruction of a building is stated as under:592. Complete destruction. - The common-law rule that a lessee is not relieved of his obligation to pay rent through the accidental destruction of the building demised to him presupposes that some part of the premises remains in existence for occupation by the tenant, irrespective of the destruction. If the destruction of the premises is complete - nothing remaining, the subject-matter or thing leased no longer existing then the liability of the tenant for rent ceases or extinguishes. ... Thus, it has been held that the destruction of the property extinguishes the liability for rent, as under a lease of a river front and landing consisting of a narrow footing at the base of a bluff without any wharf, dock, or pier, where the unprecedented ravages of the river effectually took away the use of the landing by washing away all but...
Destruction of buildings
Destruction of buildings, The consequence of 'des-truction of buildings' has been discussed by R. E. Megarry and H. W. R. Wade in The Law of Real Property as under:Destruction of buildings.--If there is a lease of land and buildings, the destruction of the buildings does not affect the continuance of the lease, so that the lessee remains entitled to possession of the land and any buildings that may subsequently be erected on it. But the complete destruction of the whole of the dismissed premises, as where an upper-floor flat is destroyed by fire, produces problems that yet have to be solved. One view is that the tenancy would come to an end, and with its liability on the covenants, for there would no longer be any physical entity which the tenant could hold of his landlord for any term, and there can hardly be tenure without a tenement. Another view is that the tenancy (and with its liability on the covenants) would endure in the air space formerly occupied by the flat, and would thus ...
Part of a building
Part of a building, the interpretation put by the Kerala High Court on s. 2(1) of the Kerala Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1965 for holding that the words 'part of a building' mean the land on which the building has been constructed is not correct. The provisions of the State Rent Act clearly show that the State Rent Act is a self-contained Act and the rights and liabilities of landlord and tenant are determined by the provisions contained therein and not by the provisions of the Transfer of Property Act or any other law. The rights of a landlord under the general law are substantially curtailed by the provisions of the State Rent Act as the Act is designed to confer benefit on tenants by providing accommodation and to protect them from unreasonable eviction, Vannattankandy Ibrayi v. Kunhabdulla Hajee, (2001) 1 SCC 564 (576)....
