Dancing hall

Dancing hall, 'dancing hall' as understood in the ordinary parlance is a place where dancing floor is provided and live orchestra or music in any other form is played to entertain the guests who wish to come on the floor and dance. Dancing halls are peculiar to the Western social life. In the cosmopolitan cities in this country, even today, one finds number of dancing halls and discotheques where people go in the evenings and entertain themselves. There seems to be no difference in a 'dancing hall' and a 'restaurant' where a proper dancing floor is provided and the guests entertain themselves by using the floor to the tune of live or recorded music. Simply because the recreation in the shape of dancing is provided along with a posheating place would not make it different than a 'dancing hall' where drinks and eatables are also invariably provided, Calcutta Municipal Corporation v. East India Hotels, AIR 1995 SC 419 (423): (1994) 5 SCC 690. [Calcutta Municipal Act, 1951 (33 of 1951), s....

Dearle v. Hall

Dearle v. Hall. The rule which takes its name from this case, reported 1823, 3 Russ. 1, originated with the bankruptcy rule conferring the priority of assignments of choses in action according to the date of notice to the debtor by the assignment, Ryall v. Rowles, 1 Ves Sess 348. Before 1926 the rule was that the priority of equitable assignments of debts and other choses in action was determined by priority in date of notice to the trustees or other owners of the legal interest in the property assigned, see Ward v. Duncombe, 1893 AC 369. The rule did not extend to equitable interests in land except to proceeds of land held on trust for sale, see Lloyd's Bank v. Pearson, (1901) 1 Ch 685, and QUI PRIOR EST TEMPORE POTIOR EST JURE. S. 137 of the Law of Property Act, 1925, has extended the rule to dealings with equitable interests in land, capital money (see s. 205(1)(xxvi.) of the Act), and securities representing capital money effected after 1925. To effect priority among competing assi...
