Legal representative
Legal representative, a 'legal representative' ordinarily means a person who in law represents the estate of a deceased person or a person on whom the estate devolves on the death of an individual, Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation v.

Executor de son tort.
Executor de son tort. See (English) A.E. Act, 1925, ss. 28, 29, and s. 55(1)(xi.). If a stranger take upon himself to act as executor or administrator (see 14 Halsbury's L. of E., 2nd Edn., para. 282), without any just authority (as by intermeddling with the goods of the deceased, and any other transactions), he is called in Law an executor of his own wrong, de son tort, and is liable to the extent of the assets which have come to him and to all the trouble of an executorship without any of the profits or advantages; but the doing of acts of necessity or humanity, as locking up the goods or burying the corpse of the deceased, will not amount to such an intermeddling as will charge a man as executor of his own wrong. Such an one cannot bring an action himself in right of the deceased; but actions may be brought against him, 1 Wms. Exors.; and see Peters v. Leeder, (1878) 47 LJ QB 573; A.-G. v. New York Breweries Co., 1899 AC 62. As to his liability in respect of a term of years of which...
Maintenance
Maintenance, an officious intermeddling in a suit which in no wise concerns one, by assisting either party with money or otherwise to prosecute or defend it; both actionable and indictable [see Bradlaugh v. Newdegate, (1883) 11 QBD 1], and invalidates contracts involving it. By the Roman Law it was a species of crimen falsi to enterin to any confederacy, or do any act to support another's law-suits, by money, witnesses, or patronage, 4 Bl. Com. 134.It is either ruralis, in the country as where one assists another in his pretensions to lands, by taking or holding the possession of them for him; or where one stirs up quarrels or suits in the country; or it is curialis, in a Court of justice, where one officiously intermeddles in a suit depending in any court, which does not belong to him, and with which he has nothing to do, 2 Rol. Abr. 115. Maintaining suits in the spiritual courts is not within the statutes relating to maintenance, Cro. Eliz. 549. A man may, however, maintain a suit in...
