Anticipation
Anticipation, doing or taking a thing before the appointed time. For anticipation of an invention see PATENTS. A married woman may be restrained by the terms of a will or settlement from aliening, by way of anticipation, property settled to her separate use during coverture. Such a clause absolutely disables her from selling, mortgaging or dealing with the property in anticipation, but it does not apply to income actually accrued due, Hood Barrs v. Heriot, 1896 AC 174, and on the determination of the coverture the restraint is at an end, Tullett v. Armstrong, (1839) 4 My&Cr 377; 1 Beav 1.

In short, it is non-economic or non-pecuniary loss, Vimla (Dr.) v. Delhi Administration, AIR 1963 SC 1572 (1576): (1963) 2 Cri LJ 434. (Indian Penal Code, 1860, s. 460)Is to deprive by deceit, it is by deceit to induce a man to act to his injury. More tersely it may be put that to deceive is by false hood to induce a state of mind and to defraud is by deceit to induce a course of action, London and Globe Finance Corpn. Ltd.
