Uses (History). A use is the intention or purpose, express or implied, upon which property is to be held. The Common Law treated the actual possessor for all purposes as the owner of the property. It was not difficult to find him out, since the possession of his estate was conferred upon him by a formal and notorious ceremony, technically called livery of seisin, which was performed openly and in the presence of the people of the locality.It soon became evident that the simple rules of the Common Law were stumbling-blocks to the complicated wants of an enterprising people.Hence ingenuity was sharpened to hit upon a device which should set at nought the rigidity of existing law and formalities.A system was found by the monastic jurists upon a model furnished by the Civil Law, which, by a nice adaptation, evaded, without overturning, the Common Law. Two methods of transferring realty began to co-exist in this country-the ancient Common Law system, and the later invention, which is denomi...

A full Roman citizen must have possessed the status liberatatis, famili', and civitatis, which are sometimes called tria capita. See Sandars' Justinian; Mackenzie's Roman Law, 4th Edn. p. 81. The law of status thus classified men as slaves and free, citizens and aliens-as equals and unequals, so that it may be called the law of inequality. Much in the same way the term 'status' is used at the pesent time in connection with the law of persons, in which connection it signifies some disability or special right or treatment by the law.In Scotland, with few exceptions, actions affecting status must be brought in the Court of Session.Status determines a person's legal condition in community by reference to some legal calls or group and cannot normally be voluntarily changed. The imposition of status carries with it attribution of a fixed quota of capacity and incapacities, but it ...
